Van Persie Relieved from penalty duties by LVG

Van Persie reacts to his saved penalty against West Brom

Louis van Gaal has relieved Robin van Persie of penalty-taking duties for Manchester United following his miss in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to West Brom.

The Baggies recorded successive victories at Old Trafford for the first time since 1959 after Chris Brunt's 63rd-minute free-kick deflected off Jonas Olsson and flew past David de Gea.

Van Persie had the chance to grab a valuable point for United 11 minutes later when referee Anthony Taylor ruled Saido Berahino had handled Antonio Valencia's cross in his own box.
