The Dutchman claims that the veteran midfielder deserved the plaudits despite claiming a hat-trick for himself.
Following an impressive outing against Fulham, Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson chose to name the forward in his line-up for the tie with Southampton.
The Saints pumped by their earlier match at the Etihad were booming with confidence and had the backing of the home crowd as they took to the pitch at St. Mary’s Stadium.
United were outclassed for the majority of the ninety minutes, but being the comeback kings that they are, the Reds Devils were able to claw their way back into the match, mostly due to the efforts of new signing Van Persie.
Chosen ahead of Javier Hernandez and with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 International and he did not disappoint.
After leveling the score at 1-1, Van Persie missed the chance to get ahead in the game, chipping his penalty right at the goalkeeper rather than placing it.
However, he redeemed himself at the end, scoring twice to earn three points for his side on a day, when they clearly struggled to impose themselves.
While most pundits have lavished the player with praises, the striker claims that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394 was the best performer on the night, as he made the difference from the bench.
“I need to say a big thank you to Paul Scholes, because when he came on everything was ticking and every single pass he hit was the right one. Everyone felt that – I certainly did. With him you’re always on your toes because anything can happen. For me,
he’s the man of the match.”
“I have to thank everyone, it’s a great club. Everyone’s been very helpful. I’ve been here only for two weeks now but I feel very welcome. Everyone that’s involved – the players and the staff, make me feel welcome. Everyone wants to help and I appreciate
that they are trying to help,” said the front-man.
With 4 goals already under his belts, Van Persie is likely to play once again when the League resumes after the International break.
