Sunderland vs Man United: 5 Players Who Will Decide The Game

3. Robin Van Persie

After a blistering start to his Man United career, Robin Van Persie has become somewhat quiet in recent weeks. He score an incredible 22 goals in his first 28 games for United, but a dip in form has seen him score just once in his last 10 games. This will concern United fans who hope to see their team win the league and cup double for the first time since 1999. However, things are looking up for the Dutchman, who scored twice for Holland in their 4-0 victory of Romania on Tuesday night. He will be hoping to carry his form for his national side, back to the Premier League. Given Sunderland's poor defensive record of late, he will see this as a great opportunity to get his quest to be Premier League top-scorer back on track. If Van Persie is on song against Sunderland, then it would be very difficult to see Sunderland taking anything from the game.
