http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 has gone on to admit that he only moved to Manchester United because he was confident that the team would go on and win a trophy or two this season.
The Dutch international made his sensational move from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 to Manchester United at the start of the season, in what is regarded to be one of the most controversial moves to date.
The striker had failed to lift a single trophy with the Gunners, and it seems like the pressure was starting to build up on him. However, with him moving to United, he has gone on to lift the Premier League trophy in only his first season with the team.
That being said, the player has admitted that prior to his move he sat down and thought about his future, after which he decided that moving to Old Trafford was going to be positive for him and his career, since it would result in him lifting some silverware.
"I wouldn't have moved if I'd had doubts," Van Persie told the club's official website. "Instead, from day one I was almost certain we'd win trophies – not in a couple of years but this year. I could see in everybody'’s faces how determined they were.”
"Everything is about lifting the trophy. This is the feeling you dream of. We won the Uefa Cup at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 three months after I started and I remember thinking that winning trophies was part of being a footballer but I've realised since then it's not that
simple. I've waited for this for a long time."
The player is now in line to go on and be awarded the league’s golden boot award as well. Van Persie feels that lifting the Premier League trophy is enough for him, but he admitted that the golden boot would be a sort of a bonus for him, if he is going to
end up taking it home at the end of the season.
"The Golden Boot would be like a bonus. In a way it's not an honest award – even if you end up with the most goals in a season, those goals are the team's goals and many will have been made possible by other players.”
