There a differing views on DM's alleged training regime but maybe every one is right. Clearly, the team look fitter and sharper and this may be down to his methods. But, perhaps some players do need careful managing - SAF has referenced that before. I was told by a good source that RVP is unhappy that he is being over trained and now has some niggles.

I would be amazed if that was the only thing he was unhappy about.

He seemed happy about the last goal he scored.

No, someone close to the sessions. Allegedly RVP tweaked something and stormed off saying 'I told you this would happen'.

There seems to be a lack of knowledge when it comes to fitness training at the club.

You see, fitness training is not about a bunch of high earners who come in and jog around. Nor is it, like some people seem to believe is the case with Moyes, making them sprint until they puke or get injured.

There is, in fact, a team of medical personnel working in tandem with some of the best fitness trainers and nutritionists in the world, creating not only a physical profile of every player including the body's limitations and the exercises and intensity he can handle, but also a nutrition program for maximum gains.

Fact is, a professional knows more than an athlete when it comes to biology and anatomy, and if the medical personnel think that the fitness regimen Van Persie is on is what is best for him, it probably is. Moyes is not a sadist, and doesn't want to hurt his own players. And if Van Persie, or anyone else in the, matter, doesn't like the fitness regimen, well he either sucks it up or it's time to say farewell. Ferguson has said plenty of times the manager is the main man at the club, and this is not going to change with any player

Good post Mick.

Totally agree Mick, but robin seems happy, look at the passion he displayed when he scored against arsenal I do think he loves the club. He is a Manchester United man now and I don't believe any rift with moyes. Because if there was he wouldn't be playing imo!

I don't see it caolan. It was obvious RVP wasn't really happy but it didn't look like he had any problems with players on the field or with Moyes.

It's obvious he was frustrated in himself, and as soon as he has started finding his feet his body language and his attitude showed. hell, he nearly had a boner when running off to celebrate with Rooney

AJH, good post and kind of my point. No doubt the younger players will benefit from being pushed harder, but players like Ferdinand, Vidic, RvP & Carrick need to be managed properly or they will suffer and if they suffer, we suffer as they are not playing.
