The midfielder became the first Manchester United player to welcome the striker to Old Trafford, after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 agreed to sell him for £24 million.
As far as summer transfer sagas go, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380’s decision not to renew his contract at the Emirates Stadium has sent shivers around Europe.
The Dutch International starred in the Gunners’ 2011/12 campaign and was the tneam’s heart and soul, netting goal after goal to secure a 3rd place finish at the end. But a lack of silverware and investment from the club in the team, prompted him
to declare that he would not be extending his contract at the helm.
Since then a three-horse race between Juventus, Manchester City and United has ensued, eventually culminating in the acquisition of the talented forward by the Red Devils.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254 when it comes to naming his starting line-up.
The club are poised to grasp their 20th title and surely now have the squad to challenge for the UEFA Champions League as well.
However that is talk of the distant future and now players are just focusing on welcoming their new teammate to Carrington, the first of whom was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Carrick-c25282.
Someone mentioned in the dressing room about Van Persie and if it goes through, it will be brilliant.
"He had a terrific season and he will further strengthen our squad. It is a great boost going into the new season. He is a world class player and we have always been about bringing in players of that ability. Can it make the difference between second and
first? There wasn't much difference so hopefully we can go that step further!”
"But the club has always had strength in depth and it is about the squad and not the 11 on the pitch,” the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 International was quoted as saying.
The Reds now start their campaign with an away trip to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043 at Goodison Park, where Robin Van Persie is likely to make his debut for the Premier League giants.
