Manchester United – Wayne Rooney Ruins the Perfection of Alex Ferguson Leaving

Posted on 13 May, 2013, by in Soccer

Going against the club and especially against Alex Ferguson never earns a player too much adoration from the fans, but it was weird to hear so many boos for Wayne Rooney as he was walking over to pick up yet another Premier League winners’ medal, possibly his last with Manchester United. More

Arsenal to Manchester United – Robin van Persie Made the Perfect Choice

Posted on 7 May, 2013, by in Soccer

Arsene Wenger once said that if he’d had the talents he’s been grooming over the years this season, things would have been different. But talents don’t want to stay for promise after promise, preferring more money and a lot more ambition. Robin van Persie chose, along with Arsenal, Manchester United, and didn’t have to look backwards even for a single second. More

Manchester United – Alex Ferguson Not Playing to Win

Posted on 6 May, 2013, by in Soccer

Even if you promise real hard, it’s hard to motivate yourself and your players to give a true effort when there’s nothing on the line. Robin van Persie only has his own goals to play for, while Wayne Rooney hardly got a whiff of a chance. Alex Ferguson sent his team out only to prevent a loss, but could hardly see and get any good football from them all match long, eventually brought to life thanks to his own players getting sent off.

Manchester United – Robin Van Persie is Hoping His First Isn’t The Last

Posted on 2 May, 2013, by in Soccer

Is it possible to begin your career at the age of 29? Robin van Persie will be 30 next season, but despite playing for nearly a decade with a top club in the Premier League, he has only one league championship to show for it, finally earning his due after leaving Arsenal for Manchester United.

Manchester United – Robin van Persie Was the Only One Interested

Posted on 29 Apr, 2013, by in Soccer

Boredom and motivation is something Manchester United have been battling with, funny to say, for over a month now, with the Premier League title well secured for quite some time. Robin van Persie, making a return to a stadium he played at for eight seasons, against a hostile crowd, was the only one with a real reason to put on his best. More

Manchester United – Robin van Persie Finds Scoring Touch in Perfect Timing

Posted on 23 Apr, 2013, by in Soccer

It wasn’t the first hat-trick for Robin van Persie in his young Manchester United career, but it was probably a little more special than his first one at the beginning of the season, when everything about Manchester United seemed to be about his scoring touch. It’s been a rough couple of months for the Dutch striker, but he has regained his scoring touch just in time to secure a 20th championship for his club, and a first one for him personally. More

Manchester United – Robin van Persie Enjoys Late Wake Up Call

Posted on 18 Apr, 2013, by in Soccer

When you don’t score goals, you take what you get, and as it happens, Manchester United usually get favors from referees and linesman, giving Robin van Persie a chance not only to score his second goal in so many matches, something we forgot he can do, but also salvage a draw to help keep the pressure off of them, while Shinji Kagawa enjoyed one of his better games for the Red Devils.

Manchester United – Robin van Persie Makes a Fool of Himself

Posted on 15 Apr, 2013, by in Soccer

Instead of looking bored out of his mind with what’s left of the season like the rest of his teammates, Robin van Persie decided to celebrate his drought-ending goal a little bit too festively when you think about the long garbage time Manchester United have been on for quite some time, but strikers and goalscorers operate on a different code apparently. Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney represented what this team is all about this season in a much more suitable way. More

Manchester United – Robin van Persie & Wayne Rooney Get Too Much Credit

Posted on 9 Apr, 2013, by in Soccer

All Alex Ferguson could do at the end of the match after losing the Manchester derby at home for the second straight season was blame the referees. What else? It’s not his fault that Manchester United were outplayed for most of the match in the middle of the pitch, while Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney looked too isolated and a tad useless upfront for most of the match. It’s always the officials. More

Manchester United – Robin van Persie Looks Depressing En Route to Title

Posted on 31 Mar, 2013, by in Soccer

Once the chances of winning the Champions League were gone, it seemed that Manchester United fell out-of-love with the 2012-2013 season, and are trying to do the absolute minimum in order to secure the Premier League. Despite Robin van Persie in the worst form he’s been in for years, it’s working out pretty well for them. More
