Robin van Persie

The biggest gain for Manchester United during summer transfer window was Robin van Persie. Captain Vantastic as known for the Arsenal fans soon became a favorite for the United fans. Robin van Persie has showed he is world class player and one of the leading goal scorers in English Premier League. During his stay at Arsenal Persie not only became major scorer, but made his way to a captain status- very important component of a team`s hierarchy. His transfer from Arsenal to Manchester United is worth 30 million- a lot of money for a player in his 30s. The player is far more experienced than any other player in Manchester United. Reasons are few. One of the main reasons is his way to decide important games and score in the decisive minutes of each game.
It`s true that Arsenal relied on too much on his captain and now the hole left by his departures in the team and hearts of Arsenal fan is enormous. Soon after the opening matches, Persie showed his goal scoring ability, making some important touches to boost Manchester United attack. It`s obvious that the Dutch wants something more than applauses and attention from any fans and media. He wants trophies as soon as possible. His stay at Arsenal made him a hero for `gooners`, but in the end he left Emirates empty handed, only with memories. Manchester United could give more options for the Dutchman as he wants something big at the end of his career.
As the Dutch national team and Arsenal failed to improve their performances during past years, Persie heads for glory at the `theater of dreams`. In a place where any dream can come true, Persie aims higher as his teammates at Old Trafford say he is one of the best scorers in the world.
