In August 2012, Manchester United performed one of the most important U-turns in their history. Robin Van Persie the Striker who chose Reds Devils over Champions City when he left Arsenal, fittingly scored the goals that returned the trophy to Old Trafford. Over the previous years, Sir Alex Ferguson had stuck to a rigid policy of buying young players to groom rather than established stars. Ferguson ditched that approach when he paid £24 million for a 29-year-old in the final year of his contract.
Robin Van Persie was the most ambitious signing United had made, he was bought for one purpose: To score the goals that would make the difference in the title race.
Robin Van Persie, too, left Arsenal because he craved major silverware, tangible team reward for all those goals, not to be left with individual baubles and thoughts of what might have been. All through the season, when it has mattered, he has delivered, taking United nearer their 20th crown, supplanting Wayne Rooney to become the main man at Old Trafford, proving Sir Alex Ferguson had stuck to a rigid policy of buying young players to groom rather than established stars. Ferguson ditched that approach when he paid £24 million for a 29-year-old in the final year of his contract.

All through the season, when it has mattered, he has delivered, taking United nearer their 20th crown, supplanting Wayne Rooney to become the main man at Old Trafford, proving Sir Alex Ferguson right once again, by being the masterstroke signing by the master manager.
The title was won the moment he persuaded Robin Van Persie, the grass was greener on his side of Manchester than in London.
That 20th crown was guaranteed on the day the Dutchman believed United was the place where he could fulfil his personal dreams. Sir Alex Ferguson took advantage of Arsene Wenger’s weakness to land the man who would not just close the gap on City, but destroy Roberto Mancini’s men.
All through the season, when it has mattered, he has delivered, goal upon goal, the symbol of the team. Before he had even kicked a ball, Van Persie had made a valuable contribution to United, for he was a statement of intent that United were prepared to compete with Manchester City, who had also been interested in signing him, and win back the Premier League title. Van Persie did not disappoint, he promised goals and he delivered.
