"Manchester United" striker Robin Van Persie will miss the first team preparation stage for the upcoming season, which will take place in the USA.
Although the "Premier" league team gathers for their first collective training session on Wednesday, coach Louis Van Gaal allowed the 30-year-old, who had given his all at the World Cup, to rest.
"I need three weeks of rest. In every match, I left everything on the field, so now I feel like a squeezed lemon," said the Dutchman.
In the World Cup, R.Van Persie scored four goals and helped the Dutch national team to secure third place.
