RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Van Persie is expected to be out for at least 3-to-4 weeks because of the ankle injury he suffered last Saturday against Swansea City, the Daily Express reports.
Van Persie was seen leaving the Liberty Stadium wearing a walking boot and using crutches, giving little confidence that he would be able to play this Saturday against Sunderland. Now that he'll be sidelined well beyond that, Falcao should get plenty of opportunities to prove his worth leading the United attack.

Van Persie sat out United's FA cup victory over Preston North End with what van Gaal described as "something," but the undisclosed issue is apparently not serious to hold him out any longer.
