Van Persie joined Manchester United from Arsenal last season and had a dream season winning golden boot and first title in England. Dutchman was more prioritized by United boss Alex Ferguson over the club legend Wayne Rooney and Persie utilized the opportunity.
Recently talking with club’s official website former Arsenal man said.” It was difficult because it wasn’t only me who decided where I went to play,I also depended on my former club as well and how they saw it. And then of course you always have these games that the directors play. It’s a bit like a rollercoaster. Some days it is looking good and other days it is worse. You don’t really know what to expect because things can change so quickly. It normally depends on the player and the two teams, but in my case, there were two other teams involved as well.”
He added.” One was Manchester City and the other one was Juventus. So it was a bit hectic but I always wanted this transfer from day one. Me and Sir Alex knew that it would be a bumpy road, but I think that it shows that if you really want something then nothing is impossible. I am glad it happened.”
