For better or for worse, the Robin van Persie to Manchester United transfer is all finished. The club site officially introduced the Dutch international to the fans today ahead of his first training session. And last season's top scorer in the Premier League was absolutely thrilled to be there:
Robin Van Persie’s ‘Inner Child’ Guided Him To Old Trafford
Everyone knows by now that I’m a lover of football. I’m quite principled in that prospect. It’s always difficult to find a perfect match but I do feel this is the perfect match for me. Man Utd breathe football. If you look at all players at the club, the stadium and the manager, my choice was made based on those things. When I have to make hard decisions, I always listen to little boy inside me and what he wants. That little boy was screaming for MU.
Well then. Far be it from us to stand in the way of Robin van Persie's inner child, eh? I'm not even an Arsenal fan and that quote is making me nauseated.
