Manchester United face Arsenal this weekend, this will be their first meeting after the much hyped transfered of the star stiker Robin Van Persie. Van Persie continued his good form with already 10 goals from 10 matches in the league.
These were the comments by United team mates on Van Persie ahead of their match against Arsenal.
Valencia said "Robin has been 100% professional. Facing Arsenal is a very special match for him. I'm convinced he is heading for a big day."
Ferdinand said "Robin is a really nice guy. The best way you can settle in at a new club is to get on with the other lads & he’s done that."
also added "Robin has done really well. He's has come in with no airs & graces about him & that’s the first thing you notice."
Sir Alex said "Robin was only 16 or 17 at the time. We sent Jim Ryan (scout) over to Feyenoord and he was sent off in the game"
He also added "Jim said Robin was a fantastic talent but felt that he was a little immature. We didn’t progress it and he went to Arsenal."
Arsene Wenger said "I hope Robin gets a respectful reception because he has played for us for eight years, he has done very well for us."
Last season United won both their home and away matches against Arsenal including the 8 - 2 win at Old Trafford last September.
