The long-serving coach made no secret of his admiration for the forward and claimed that the move should be wrapped up before tomorrow.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson took a personal interest in landing the services of the prolific Dutchman and took the liberty of convincing Arsene Wenger in person, so that he could have the player in his squad.
Now it looks like the Scot’s decision could pay off sooner rather than later, with Van Persie undergoing his medical yesterday.
Although the striker is yet to sign terms with the club, United have prepared a mouth-watering package with him that includes a lucrative £235,000 per week deal which is summed up with image rights.
Following the arrivals of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 and Persie
combining together is a mouth-watering prospect and could herald a new era for the Red Devils.
Ferguson has now likened his current front-line with that of the 1999 class and claims that they could have similar success given how strong the squad has become over the summer.
"In 1999 I had http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dwight-Yorke-c11775, Andy Cole, Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the four best strikers in Europe. We are going towards that now. It is a fantastic collection of players and hopefully I pick the right combinations.”
While the contract is yet to be agreed upon, Ferguson was clearly ecstatic as he revealed his delight upon the new capture and claimed that the player would surely improve the team as a whole.
"He has not signed yet. We hope everything gets tied up as we hope and I am sure he will be available on Monday. It is great to have a player of Robin van Persie's qualities to come into the squad. I am very pleased,” added the Scot.
United start their Premier League campaign with an away trip to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019, in which the club should field as their new signings, as they prepare to take on Manchester City for England’s top honour.
