Manchester United manager David Moyes can breathe a sigh of relief after striker Robin van Persie was only ruled out for two weeks after he picked up a hamstring injury against St. Mirren yesterday afternoon.
Robin van Persie will be fit to face Manchester City on the opening day of the Barclays Premier League season at the Etihad Stadium. That's a statement that will please Manchester United fans all around the world and allow new manager David Moyes to no doubt breathe a huge sigh of relief after the striker suffered a hamstring injury yesterday afternoon against St. Mirren.
The incident happened in the lead up to United's third goal, the Dutch strikers initial effort deflecting into the path of winger Antonio Valencia who tapped home into an empty net. Almost immediately van Persie signalled to the United bench that something was wrong as he clutched his left hamstring and the 28 year old was replaced by Ryan Giggs.
Scans today ruled out any serious damage to van Persie's hamstring and it's expected he'll only miss the clubs pre-season clashes with Ross County and Benfica, meaning he may feature against Royal Antwerp in United's final pre-season fixture before they kick off the new Barclays Premier League season with a blockbuster fixture against fierce rivals and current Barclays Premier League champions Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
The Dutch striker joined United this summer, the 28 year old costing the Red Devils £24 million, van Persie publicly stating that he was leaving Arsenal in the pursuit of trophies, the Gunners failing to win any silverware since the 2005 FA Cup.

Manchester United comfortably beat St. Mirren in their pre-season friendly this afternoon as a brace from striker Danny Welbeck helped the Red Devils record a 4-1 victory over their Scottish opponents.
Goals from Danny Welbeck, Antonio Valencia and Javier Hernández gave new Manchester United manager David Moyes his first taste of victory since replacing Sir Alex Ferguson as they beat St. Mirren in their pre-season friendly this afternoon.
United went into the game on the back of a defeat in their opening pre-season clash against Dundee four days ago and there was a sense of importance surrounding this fixture before kick off despite it only being a pre-season friendly, a repeat of the result against Dundee at St. Mirren Park would heap further pressure on Moyes.
In fairness the game was never an even contest and once Welbeck scored his first, a fine headed finish from Rio Ferdinand's cross, the result was all but assured for the visitors even if a lapse in concentration presented St. Mirren's teenage striker Thomas Reilly with a chance just before the half time break, the sides level at the break following his calm finish.
Things didn't remain level for long following the half time break, a dangerous cross just six minutes into the second half from left back Alexander Büttner belted home by a determined Welbeck. Just two minutes later the game was put beyond the hosts reach as Valencia found space at the back post to tap home a deflected shot from Robin van Persie, the striker withdrawn after that incident, reports suggesting he picked up a hamstring strain and will miss United's next pre-season clash game.
Hernández added the fourth deep into stoppage time after Belgian teenager Adnan Januzaj caught the hosts defence flat footed with a lovely reverse pass, the Mexican international making no mistake as he confidently slotted the ball beyond the reach of St. Mirren goalkeeper Chris Smith to finish the rout on a night which saw Manchester United do a professional job.

Manchester United striker Robin van Persie has backed new manager David Moyes as the right choice to replace the retiring Sir Alex Ferguson as the Red Devils continue their pre-season preparations.
The Dutch international who agreed to join Manchester United for £24 million whilst Sir Alex Ferguson was still in charge backed the boards decision to appoint the former Everton manager after Ferguson's unexpected retirement.
"Losing a manager like Sir Alex Ferguson would be tough for any club and it can take time for things to settle after a loss. The new manager has done well since coming in and you can tell during training sessions that he really knows what he's doing, every player is listening and improving, he's the right choice for the club," said the 28 year old.
United suffered a 1-0 defeat against Dundee in their first pre-season clash yet despite the setback van Persie remains confident the Red Devils will improve over the next few weeks in time for the opening day of the Barclays Premier League season when they take on fierce rivals and current Barclays Premier League champions Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
"The result against Dundee wasn't what we wanted and we need to do better," said van Persie.
"In saying that we're aware that it's only pre-season, it was the first game for some players together and for some it was the first game in over a month so the result wasn't as important as things like fitness. Over the next few weeks we'll improve and I'm sure we'll be ready to face Manchester City on the opening day of the new season," added the Dutch international.
United take on St. Mirren tomorrow afternoon and it's expected van Persie will start for his new club for the first time since his controversial summer move from Arsenal. The 28 year old signed a four year deal when he left the Emirates Stadium and the striker is reportedly one of the highest earners at Old Trafford earning a whooping £180,000 a week before tax.

Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley will miss up to two weeks with a thigh injury picked up as the Red Devils lost 1-0 against Dundee in a pre-season friendly last night at the Dens Park Stadium.
The 22 year old limped off against Dundee on the hour mark and it was first feared he may miss the beginning of the Barclays Premier League season. However scans in Manchester today ruled out serious injury, the midfielder set to miss up to two weeks of action with a thigh strain and he'll miss pre-season friendlies against St. Mirren, Ross County and Benfica.
Cleverley revealed he was relieved following the outcome of the scans earlier today.
"To hear the news that it isn't a serious injury is fantastic and it makes you feel a lot better," said the midfielder.
"It's a bit disrupting to miss a few pre-season games and frustrating because I had a few injuries last season that stopped me from making more appearances, but honestly I'm relieved it's nothing serious and I'll only miss about two weeks which means I still have a chance of starting against Manchester City in our first league game," added the 22 year old.
The midfielder made 10 Barclays Premier League appearances for the Red Devils last season after successful loan spells at Leicester City, Watford and Wigan Athletic which saw him make 73 appearances in total scoring 17 times.
United only have four pre-season games remaining before their meeting with Manchester City on the opening day of the new Barclays Premier League season at the Etihad Stadium meaning Cleverley will only have the pre-season game against Royal Antwerp to prove himself fit and able to start in David Moyes first competitive fixture as Manchester United boss.

Manchester United have begun life under new manager David Moyes in defeat after they lost 1-0 in their opening pre-season friendly against Scottish side Dundee this evening at Dens Park Stadium.
A first half strike from midfielder Ryan Conroy gave Dundee a famous victory over their much more illustrious opponents in their pre-season encounter at Dens Park Stadium tonight as new Manchester United manager David Moyes endured defeat.
The visitors will feel hard done by after they registered 20 shots during the game and the hosts only hit the target once, the effort from Conroy the only time Anders Lindegaard was troubled, the Danish international unable to keep out the effort.
Moyes chose to leave star strikers Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney on the bench as he started Javier Hernandez up front alongside Danny Welbeck. The former two did appear on the hour mark, although they couldn't rescue a draw for Moyes as he suffered defeat in his first outing since replacing Sir Alex Ferguson as manager at Old Trafford.
Following the game Moyes said he was aware this result could happen prior to the game and admitted his side had much improving to do before they meet fierce rivals and current Barclays Premier League champions Manchester City on the opening day of the new season next month at the Etihad Stadium.
"Obviously it's disappointing to lose and the performance wasn't the best in parts, but we all know pre-season is a building block for the season ahead and it was our first game tonight, we knew that could happen and whilst we're not happy about it we won't be placing to much importance on the result as these things can happen," said Moyes.
"We have to improve and we'll do just that over the next few weeks for the opening game against Manchester City. That'll be a very tough start for us, but we'll be up for it, don't you worry about that," added the new Manchester United boss.
United midfielder Tom Cleverley limped off on the hour mark and when asked Moyes said he was concerned about the injury.
"Tom felt his quad tonight and we're not sure how bad it's going to be. At the moment he's in a bit of pain so we're just going to have to wait and see how bad it is, hopefully it's a small strain and not a complete tear. A slight strain might mean a week or two out, which is obviously much better than a few months, so we've our fingers crossed it's nothing serious and he'll have scans tomorrow back in Manchester to see how much damage has been done," said Moyes.
United have four pre-season games remaining before their meeting with Manchester City on the opening day of the new Barclays Premier League season and will face St. Mirren, Ross County, Benfica and Royal Antwerp.

Manchester United defender Patrice Evra wants to win more trophies and the Frenchman believes that new manager David Moyes can follow in the successful footsteps of former manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
David Moyes can continue the expected success at Old Trafford according to Manchester United defender Patrice Evra, the 31 year old confident he and his teammates can continue to win trophies despite the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson.
"The new manager has been fantastic since he's come in and all the boys are enjoying pre-season," said Evra.
"Personally I want to win as many trophies as I can before I retire and I feel I'll retire at Manchester United. It will be tough for the new manager replacing Sir Alex Ferguson, but anybody would struggle replacing the old boss. We know it'll be tough to win the league this season, it gets tougher and tougher every year because this is the best league in the world, but if we prepare well and perform at our best we'll have a very good chance," added the French international.
Evra joined Manchester United back in January 2006 when he left AS Monaco for £5.5 million and has won the Barclays Premier League four times since arriving at Old Trafford. The French international has made 206 Barclays Premier League appearances for the Red Devils scoring twice. The defender currently has two years remaining on his contract at Old Trafford.
The 31 year old has been capped 42 times by France since making his debut against Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2004.
United begin their pre-season preparations in two days when they play Scottish side Dundee at Dens Park Stadium in their opening pre-season friendly. They'll also face St. Mirren and Ross County before hosting Portuguese side Benfica at Old Trafford. United will then finish their pre-season commitments with a friendly against Belgian side Royal Antwerp.
