During Manchester United's pre-season, David Moyes admitted that the club had "over-trained" Robin Van Persie in order to "build up his fitness".

And then in the defeat to Newcastle, Moyes publicly admitted that he played the Dutchman for a half hour longer than he would have liked.

Whether it is a coincidence or not, Van Persie has suffered a string of injuries this season, with the latest one keeping him out until next month.

The striker who had enjoyed almost two injury-free seasons for the first time in his career was said to be unhappy about Moyes' methods and will revert back to his former training regime.

Tonight on Off The Ball we'll be talking to renowned fitness coach Raymond Verheijen who branded Moyes and other coaches as "dinosaurs", "fitness clowns" and "scientific cowboys" in July.

But do you think Moyes should take responsibility for Van Persie's injury problems?
