Robin van Persie will be investigated by the Football Association because of elbow strike in the face of John Kabat of Newcastle during the match ended 3:0 in favor of Manchester United.

The manager of "Magpies" Alan Pardew was furious at what had happened and asked punishment of three matches for the Dutch.

Van Persie was substituted shortly after the dirty blow, and Pardew said: "He looked at John and hit him with his elbow. I think this must be seen if we have to be honest. Here has a history with Van Persie and do not know whether he is involved in this. "

"I really think that John would not fall to the ground if he had done something, but I myself did not seeing it. But I saw the replay and it seems that he looked at him and hit him with his elbow. "

The match referee Howard Web did not take any action against Van Persie, but now will have to answer to the FA for his views on the incident.
