The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 star claims that he can adapt well with the Dutchman, if he agrees to make the switch to Old Trafford.
Manchester United have been looking to sign http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 ever since his decision not to renew his Arsenal contract.
Last season, the forward was firing on all cylinders and scored goal after goal, leading the Gunners to a UEFA Champions League berth and all the glory that goes along with it.
However under Arsene Wenger’s tutelage, the London giants have failed to win any silverware in the last couple of seasons and Van Persie is eager to make his mark on the continent, after last lifting a trophy seven years ago.
Since his shock announcement to leave the club, United have emerged as favourites to sign him, despite facing intense competition from the likes of Manchester City and Juventus.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson revealed yesterday that the Reds had been negotiating with their Premier League counterparts, although nothing had been finalized as of yet.
Now http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 has also reiterated his desire to see the attacker at the helm and claims that he could benefit from Van Persie’s arrival himself.
Speaking to reporters, the English front-man said that he could potentially strike up a sensational partner-ship with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 captain, whom he has long admired.
“Of course he’s a player that I admire. I’d like to think so - but you’d have to ask the manager about that.”
He also added that there was a lot of competition at the club, but reiterated that Van Persie had the talent to secure a starting role.
“There’s a lot of forwards here already with myself, Danny [Welbeck], Chicharito and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254, who’s still here. So there’s a lot of forwards fighting for a place,” Rooney was quoted as saying.
Meanwhile, reports are now emerging that the player’s agent has demanded a significant portion of the total transfer fee, if something was to materialize this summer.
Wenger values his prized asset at £25 million but a bid within the range of £20 million is also likely to be accepted if Van Persie’s wages are accommodated.
