The legendary Dutch striker has heaped praise on his fellow compatriot, and has insisted that the former Arsenal hit-man could be the critical figure to help the Manchester giants win their 20th league title.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 will play an integral role to help Manchester United winning the English Premier League title come the end of the 2012/13 season.
The lanky striker, who arrived at Old Trafford earlier this year after netting 132 goals in over 200 appearances for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 in all competitions during his eight seasons stay at Emirates Stadium, has already won the hearts of several United fans with his
scintillating displays.
And the former Dutch international, who represented the Oranje in 70 games before hanging up his boots in 2011, has insisted that the Red Devils will land their 20th league title if the 29-year-old continues performing highly until the end of
the ongoing season.
“It feels like he has been here forever. As he’s proving right now, he is making the difference on many occasions. If he can keep going like this through the whole season then I can see United landing another championship win”, Van Nistelrooy was quoted
as saying to the Telegraph.
The legendary Dutch talisman, who represented the 19-time English champions in over 200 games and netted an exceptional 150 goals along the way during his five years stay at Old Trafford, went on to hit out all the critics that were saying Van Persie’s 24
million Pounds move to Old Trafford is a gamble.
“He has proved those people wrong already. I was close to him playing in the Dutch national team and I was convinced of his qualities then. It’s great to see, the way he plays — he fits into United’s playing style. He’s everywhere, involved in the play and
in the finishing, too, so that makes him special”, Van Nistelrooy concluded.
Van Persie has already proven his worth by netting an impressive 11 goals in 16 appearances in all competitions for the Red Devils, and should he keep his exceptional form in front of goal intact until the end of the season, United will then certainly manage
to win silverware this term.
