The Manchester United legend claimed that he was excited by the prospect of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 and Wayne Rooney playing together, after the Arsenal man refused to extend his stay at the Emirates.
Van Persie’s decision to reject a new deal from the Gunners has sent shockwaves around the continent, as he was the team’s talisman, single-handedly guiding them to a UEFA Champions League with his goals.
His performances have been of the highest caliber and with an injury free campaign under his belt; he is looking to enhance his reputation as one of the best attacker in the world, after a lethargic display at the European Championships.
The striker revealed his decision to part ways with the Londoners earlier this month, citing that he did not agree with how the club was being run.
Manchester City and Juventus have been leading the race to sign him since then, but United now appear to be in pole position to acquire his services.
Although there isn’t much need for a forward at Old Trafford, the sight of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 and Van Persie linking up play can be salivating prospect for any Reds fan.
Former United full-back Steve Bruce has also spoken in this regard and claims that he for one would welcome the Dutchman to the Theatre of Dreams.
“If he [Ferguson] gets him [Van Persie], it would be a wonderful signing. He’s playing at the peak of his career and, with Manchester City laying down the gauntlet, it’s the next challenge. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 have been there against them
and now they see City as a big threat and you need people like him to come in to the team to freshen it up. There is no doubt about his quality.”
“It would be mouthwatering if you’ve got van Persie and Rooney in the same team. That would be a wonderful combination,” he said.
The ace front-man would cost United a cool £20 million, but considering that the club already have the likes of Javier Hernandez, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Federico-Macheda-c13475 within their ranks, a move seems unlikely to materialize this summer
despite the media claiming otherwise.
