Manchester United could be without its first-choice striker for a critical stage of the season after Robin van Persie was ruled out for a ''long time'' by manager Louis van Gaal on Friday. The Netherlands international was hurt in United's 2-1 loss at Swansea last Saturday and left the Liberty Stadium on crutches, with a protective shoe on his foot. Van Gaal didn't give an exact timescale of Van Persie's absence but said it was an injury that ''takes a long time - it's not one week or two weeks.'' That would mean Van Persie definitely missing United's next two Premier League games - against Sunderland on Saturday and Newcastle on Wednesday - and also the FA Cup quarterfinal match against his former club, Arsenal, on March 9. After that, four of United's next five matches are against Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea - all members of the current top seven.
