Manchester United's Robin van Persie could be dropped for youngster James Wilson this weekend

The Dutchman has had an indifferent start to the season, and Louis van Gaal is thought to have been impressed with the 18-year-old strike



Dutch courage: Wilson could be set to replace Van Persie

Robin van Persie's place is under threat this weekend - with young Manchester United striker James Wilson ready to step in.
United boss Louis van Gaal is considering giving Wilson his first start of the season against Crystal Palace on Saturday - with Van Persie the likely fall-guy.
Van Persie has scored just three goals this season and has struggled to find his best form, with the Holland star facing increasing pressure to keep his United place.
Van Gaal has already warned his high-profile United players none of them can be sure of their places, regardless of their reputation or price tag.
The United boss has been impressed with 18-year-old Wilson since arriving at Old Trafford and is keen to give the youngster the chance he feels he deserves
