  • Suh quick? - RVP past it

    When Manchester United paid Arsenal £24 million for Robin van Persie in August 2012, eyebrows were raised because of the Dutch striker's advancing years and checkered injury record. Not to mention the fact the Red Devils didn't appear to require another forward; they had more pressing concerns, such as recruiting a new top-class central midfielder, after all.

    Ferguson wouldn't usually have given the green light to such a deal - but Van Persie was the Premier League's best striker at the time and Manchester United had been beaten to the title months earlier by local rivals Manchester City by virtue of goal difference.

    Keen to make sure that wouldn't happen again, and knowing this would be his final season in charge of the Red Devils, Ferguson went all in and brought Van Persie to Old Trafford - fully aware, surely, that within a few seasons the striker would have entered the early stages of decline.
