Manchester United striker Robin van Persie and manager David Moyes are at it again, as reports indicate that the two have had a recent clash over the latter's fitness.

The 30-year-old Dutchman has long been criticising David Moyes' training style, calling it "Jurassic Park" due to its strenuous nature, which makes players, like him, prone to injury.

He was activated by the former Everton boss from the injured list prematurely in the past and such move paid dearly as it aggravated his then groin injury.

As a consequence, van Persie opted to sit out of the Red Devils' recent Premier League fixture against Chelsea because he thought he was not ready to take on the pitch despite the club physios suggesting otherwise.

Meanwhile, the Scot mentor tried to mellow down the issue by holding clear-the-air talks with the ex-Arsenal man at Carrington training ground.

Nevertheless, it can be deduced that Moyes will be willing to make compromises since he will need all the help that he can get to steer United, who now sits on 7th place, to a decent finish in the Premier League this season.
