The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 International claims that he has been taken aback by the Dutchman’s displays this term, which have lifted the burden on the defence.
Sir Alex Ferguson looks to have cracked the attacking formula which had been plaguing his side since the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 this summer and has been reaping the benefits ever since.
United are currently on top of the Premier League table, but that feat has only possible because of Van Persie’s contributions. The attacker has scored match winning goals on more than one occasion this term and has formed a deadly partnership with Wayne
Rooney that strikes fear into English defences.
The duo have been on fire since Rooney’s return from injury and ripped apart Sunderland with plenty of time to spare. Their goals have saved the defence’s blushes several times and thus http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Smalling was both grateful and in awe as he piled praise on United’s
Dutch attacker.
Speaking to reporters, the former Fulham man said that that Van Persie had take no time in cementing his position in the starting line-up and it was evident that from the games that the Red Devils have a quality player on their hands.
"I saw the finish. It wasn't easy to put it in that top corner but he is a quality player. Obviously he only came in the summer and didn't have much of a pre-season. But he came straight into the matches and has been such a threat. He is putting teams on
the back foot and making our http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 easier at the back,” Smalling was quoted as saying to reporters.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 also had some choice words for the Holland International and claimed that his experience and abilities were all mixing together in his prime and the result was there to see on the pitch.
"He has a fantastic record. What you are seeing is a player who has come to his mature years. Experience is counting for him now. He has the knowledge and ability and last season his form was terrific,” said the long-serving United manager while speaking
to the media after the game.
