Manchester United striker Robin van Persie insists he wants to stay at Old Trafford.

There have been widespread reports of Van Persie's desire to leave the Red Devils in recent weeks, but in an extensive interview published on the club's official website, the Dutchman says he has no problems with his team-mates or coaches. 

“I don’t mind if my performances get dissected and people criticise what I’ve done on the pitch,” he said.
