Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas believes Manchester United have signed one of the best strikers in Europe in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380.
The Portuguese will take his side to Old Trafford tomorrow as he prepares for his first real challenge in the Premier League. The manager is well aware of the striking talent United have at their disposal, and is not taking the clash lightly.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, and considers the Dutchman to be one of the best strikers in Europe.
The former champions have not exactly been convincing in recent matches, with most of their defensive frailties cracking through in some of their performances. However, the Red Devils have still managed to get results and Robin Van Persie has scored 5 goals
for the club.
Tottenham have only just kick started their season, managing two consecutive wins in the league. The pressure to deliver has somewhat been lifted for now, as Villas-Boas finally managed his first home game.
It took a run of three games (two in the Premier League and one in the Europa League) for Tottenham to win three points at home. The team had lost the lead on two occasions and went on to draw their games against West Brom and Norwich earlier.
Now, an improving Tottenham side will be full of confidence as it travels to Manchester. The manager has acknowledged United’s attacking threat ahead of the game, and considers the signing of Van Persie an important factor in their bid for the title.
"When you can afford to buy one of the best strikers in the Premier League and further strengthen a squad that is already so good, it sends a strong signal to everybody," Villas-Boas said.
"A United team that can call upon van Persie, Chicharito, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 will make it difficult for any opponent. It shows an intent from them to play with two strikers up front in the future and it is a massive attacking option that they
have. United can put you into very difficult positions when players of this quality are performing well."
