Louis van Gaal insists that Manchester United’s dominant performance against Swansea only adds to his frustration.

The 31-year-old left the Liberty Stadium sporting a protective boot around his right ankle after he was injured in the final stages of United's 2-1 defeat to the Swans on Saturday.

Van Persie, who has scored 10 goals this season, could not be replaced as United had already made three substitutions.

Manager Louis van Gaal said: "We dominated the game even with 10 men when Van Persie could not run anymore."
