He has had a promotion to the first team squad, to train with them, week in, week out. Thus, Louis can then evaluate how he does against the real men, not the youths. He hasn't deemed that he deserves a start.
Getting a promotion to the senior squad is one thing, definitely deserving to start over Robin Van Persie is quite another.

I would only pay attention to such rumors if RVP was shunned on the bench to begin with. Otherwise, this is just making no sense. Anyway, nothing makes sense with RVP these days.
What's all this about a £10M loyalty bonus then and selling him before we have to pay it? Sounds like a massive amount, worth an extra £50K/wk over his 4 year contract.

Note the stat that he has performed better than Welbeck, despite everyone saying he is shit and Welbeck is the best.

Not necessarily sure the stat shows he's better? More games and involved directly in less goals than welbeck. Also note welbeck would take time to adjust to new surroundings, team mates, tactics etc. And this is from someone who thinks selling welbeck was absolutely the right decision and someone who thinks rvp will come good again.
Most disappointing thing other than the lack of goals has been his close control appears to have completely deserted him. He seems to be taking two touches too many on each occasion and eventually loses the ball on a majority of those. That just cannot happen, particularly in the final 3rd of the pitch.
Once he got converted to be a center forward, he's always been the kind of player that played the quick lay off and made a killer run into space for the return ball. Now its just too much dallying, trying to provide an assist and thereby slowing down the play or allowing the defense to recover and set up a wall.

Arsenal 1:2 Man Utd
Heskey-esque controls.
Is he playing? not heard his name and I'm watching it 
Another dire performance so far. Might aswell be playing with 10 men

Be nice if he decided to turn up at some point today.
If he carries on playing this shit we should sell him to Chelsea for £50m.
Should have been sold in the summer. I said so at the time and most felt that miracle worker LVG would transform him.
True. The service he has been getting has been perfect.
Would be nice to see him not walk around for a start.
You can't always blame service, he's been crap for ages.
He's been just loitering today.
Wilson would be more suited to the counter attacking stuff we are doing today.

Needs to be dropped. I've had enough of him.
Has been terrible today. But not all blame can go to him because I cant remember the last time we actually put in a decent cross for him to get on.
Its just not his game to pick up the ball from 50 yards out and beat 3 defenders.
He needs service to be effective and we aren't getting that from this shithouse formation which the players clearly don't understand or can execute properly.

You all need to quit with these shit excuses. For 18 months now he's looked disinterested and like he's no longer up to it physically. The guy can barely move, LVG is daft for not seeing this.
Sadly we cant even drop him for Falcao.
If LVG was actually brave (and not biased) it would be Mata behind Rooney.
I believe he will be very useful once we decide to use him in the last 20 minutes or so. Definitely should not be a starter.
I want to continue defending him, and believe he will come good, but it's looking more and more like he really is past it as a top level striker. Often slows our attack down to a worrying extent.
Please drop him, there has to be a limit. Would really wish him and Welbeck had swapped teams.
Whilst he was poor today, and has been of late, we weren't actually even in the game in the first half. I think he'd be much better in a side that is playing better. That said, I wouldn't mind seeing Wilson given a chance from the start.
We needed to work hard today and RVP doesn't have the energy for it, unfortunately. None of our attacking players exactly shined going forward. These type of games he really does get shown up.

He really is finished. Off the bench, he'd be better.
There's something physically wrong with him.
He seems like hybrid of Berbatov and Anderson these days.

He was a pedestrian again. If Mata was dropped for failing to offer enough defensive quality, then RVP deserves the same treatment.
When he went off our counters started working much better actually.
Infact Rooney and Di maria were linking well to begin with while he was loitering or slowing them down.
the injuries last season killed him, first he got injured in the CL after coming back against Newcastle, then he got another injury late against Olympiacos. He has lost all the pace he once had too.
He's finished. Now the hard part for Van Gaal to find a creative way to make a permanent change.
Same again next week, Robin.
Tbf to RVP he did do well in one counter when he turned I think it was Monreal and had the ball but Di Maria couldn't keep himself onside. That's about all he did, though.
Anyone got the stats for number of touches he had today, number of passes etc?
Genuinely pointless. It was no surprise we were getting loads of good counter attacks once he came off, he just slows things down way too much for us.
Wilson did better in the 15 or so minutes he was on and that's saying something.

Its got to the point where its just impossible to defend the obvious, he's finished.
The fact that LvG subbed him off for Wilson is encouraging. A top world class striker will definitely be on the radar next year.
He has lost so much pace and his awareness of space has somehow kinda gone. It's so strange.
