The Manchester United legend claims that the Dutchman has made a scintillating impact since joining the Red Devils and that his goals have come in very handy at the helm.
Robin Van Persie’s summer arrival at the Theatre of Dreams has made a major impact on the title race. The former Arsenal captain was renowned for goal scoring at the Emirates and has seemingly carried that form into his new side.
Sir Alex Ferguson has made the Holland International his main forward in the front-line and has benefitted immensely due to the player’s burgeoning partnership with fellow marksman http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736.
The duo have been integral to United’s winning streak and their partnership was sorely missed on the weekend, as the Reds succumbed to a resilient Norwich City at Carrow Road.
Van Persie, besides being a major creative force, has scored the bulk of the club’s goals and now stands at 8 from 12 appearances in the English Premier League. Furthermore, his three strikes in the UEFA Champions League were pivotal in United securing progression
to the knock-out rounds and praise has followed from corners of the footballing fraternity.
While Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 is delighted to have the Netherlands’ star on board, former Old Trafford legend Andy Cole has now voiced his approval of the forward and claimed that he has made a greater impact in Manchester than anyone expected.
"Robin has made a massive impact since he joined. He's carried on for United where he left off with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 last season, scoring bundles of goals. I think he's also joined at a good age. People might say it's not a good age, given he's 29 and United paid
£24m for him, but I don't think he has anything to prove to anybody,” he said.
Continuing, the ex-England International added that the pressure to perform on Van Persie had subsided after his initial goal scoring feats.
"Everyone knows what he can do and I think that makes the transition even easier for him, because he's already shown what he can do and the pressure's off,” Cole was quoted as saying while speaking to the media.
