Sir Alex Ferguson is unfazed by Robin van Persie's current rating drought, with the Manchester United manager insisting all forwards have dry periods. Following a extreme start to the season in which the Dutchman packaged 22 goals before the end of January, Van Persie has netted only once since. He has gone seven games with no purpose in United shades, while he has been on goal for Netherlands, and Ferguson admitted overnight that he might have to control Van Persie's work. Ferguson's terms suggested he was planning on passing Van Persie an escape, but he has moved to deny that in his press conference in front of the Manchester derby with City on Monday. "He does not require a rest, that is for sure," Ferguson said. "He is really a strong lad with a great system. "It was a bit discouraging last week that the target wasn't given to him, it took the deflection, but it was a chance. "His power to move and positioning was exceptional. The goals should come, he's like all strikers who have dry periods and develop it ends quickly. "I had a cause from the beginning of just one period when I didn't score until October - but I still ended up with 30-odd goals!"
