All
United fans will remember where they were when news broke that a deal had been
agreed with Arsenal to bring Robin van Persie to Old Trafford and he put
pen-to-paper on Friday 17 August.
Van
Persie is the reigning PFA Player of the Year and the Football
Writers' Footballer of the Year after a fabulous season with the Gunners.
The
Dutchman was top scorer in the Barclays Premier League with 30 goals, three
ahead of his nearest challenger, Wayne Rooney, who looks set to line up
alongside him when the 2012/2013 campaign kicks off.
Born
in Rotterdam, he really made his
mark
at local side Feyenoord and was chased by some of England's top clubs after a
couple of seasons impressing on the left wing. Despite rumoured interest from
Tottenham, Arsenal snapped him up for £2.75million in 2004 and he soon proved
value for money.
After
overcoming injury problems, he became the main man at Arsenal, playing
centrally and becoming a major influence on the Gunners' play. Taking over the
captaincy, he was the driving force for Arsene Wenger's side and was clearly
one of the best players of 2011/2012 with many pundits arguing he dragged the
North Londoners into the top three by leading from the front.
The
intelligence of his movement around the box and the accuracy of his finishing
is exceptional," commented Wenger after his skipper hit a sensational
hat-trick in a 5-3 win at Chelsea in October, 2011. "He is on fire."
Van
Persie scored in both matches against United, albeit in defeat on each
occasion, and confirmed his status as a world-class striker with a string of
outstanding displays and matchwinning contributions. A set-piece specialist who
possesses a fearsome shot, he also shows an unselfish streak by providing a
number of assists for his team-mates.
In
terms of international football, he scored
in Holland's defeat to Germany during a disappointing overall Euro 2012
campaign for the Netherlands and starred at the 2006 and 2010 World
Cup finals and also at Euro 2008.
Fellow
countryman Dennis Bergkamp, who was also idolised at Arsenal, paid his special
tribute to an outstanding talent. "He can make the difference time after
time and, in my opinion, that describes a great player," said
Bergkamp. "It’s incredible how he has developed himself and players
like that deserve trophies. His character and style of play is fantastic."
As
well as playing in the 2010 World Cup final, when Holland were beaten by Spain,
he also lifted the 2002 UEFA Cup with Feyneoord after a 3-2 win against
Borussia Dortmund, and won the FA Cup three years later when the Gunners
defeated United on penalties in Cardiff. He came off the bench and
successfully converted one of the spot-kicks past Roy Carroll but, aside from a
Community Shield, it remained the only team silverware he won with Arsenal.
Hopefully,
team glory will accompany personal accolades for van Persie at Old Trafford,as
he provides another mouthwatering option for Sir Alex Ferguson in attack.
"It’s
an honour to sign for Manchester United," he
admitted
when signing on the dotted line. "I am looking forward to following
in the footsteps of so many great strikers, bringing my experience and playing
my part to help the team compete for the biggest trophies in the game. I
can’t wait to get started."
