3 Key Battles That Will Decide QPR vs. Manchester United: Charlie Austin vs. The United Defence And More

3. The QPR defence vs. Robin Van Persie

With Wayne Rooney playing deeper and Angel Di Maria not looking at his best, the onus of scoring could fall on Robin Van Persie who has himself not been at his best for quite a while but playing against the QPR defence is a different story. The QPR defence isn’t really known for having fast centre backs as they play with a back three and United should be looking to exploit that.

QPR don’t have to worry about Wayne Rooney playing as a striker but might have to keep an eye out for Robin Van Persie, who would just need one good chance to make a difference and make QPR pay.
