The former midfielder believes that the Dutchman can succeed in providing goals at Old Trafford after starting things on a high.
Sir Bobby Charlton’s eye for talent has been pretty keen over the years and he famously dropped in awe after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985 set the pitch alight all those years ago.
Players have come and gone at the club, but Giggs remains the team’s senior statesman, a clear testament to Charlton’s scouting ability. And now the ex-England International has piled praise on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 in the summer.
Sir Alex Ferguson uncharacteristically splashed the cash for the Dutchman and has been reaping the rewards since then, with Van Persie notching four goals in as many outings for the Red Devils.
The Scot has been spoilt for choice with his arrival and despite the presence of luminaries such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-Welbeck-c10233 seemed to prefer the 29-year-old for a starting role a few weeks ago.
Game time could lead to silverware for the Netherlands’ star and Sir Bobby has backed him to just that with his consistent goal scoring ability of the highest level.
"We’re very happy to have Robin van Persie here. You can’t possibly see him not scoring goals for us. He’ll do his chasing, he’s good in the air and he doesn’t think about it. When the goal is there, he doesn’t look up – take his goal against Fulham for
example.”
“The chance came to him and he just helped it on its way. Robin is a great goalscorer; that’s why Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 [Ferguson] likes him. It’s just paradise for any team’s supporters when they’ve got someone who can potentially score from nothing. He’s got this skill
and if his team are playing well then he will score.”
United face an intriguing UEFA Champions League clash with Galatasaray on Wednesday and although the tie should be an easy one for them, Van Persie, after being rested on the weekend, could be in line to start alongside attacking midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364
as the Reds look to cement a place in Europe’s premier competition.
