By Rajvir Rai Follow @@R_Rai Holland manager Louis van Gaal has thanked David Moyes for the form of Robin van Persie and revealed he has been set a target of reaching the World Cup semi-finals by the Dutch FA. Van Persie has scored in friendlies against Ghana and Ecuador and Van Gaal admitted Moyes - who he succeeded as Manchester United manager this summer - helped get the striker fit ahead of Holland's opening game against champions Spain on June 13. The 30-year-old striker had been struggling with knee and thigh injuries after a frustrating season with United, but Moyes's decision to allow him to travel back to Holland for a fitness camp seems to have paid off - much to the relief of Van Gaal.
