Agree, felt and still feels like a real United player. His style and attitude, brilliant.

Could easily play in the Premier League. Such a shame he left the way he did. Still haven't replaced him.
Imagine him in our team right now. He and Pogba would love eachother.
The last attacker we had that was irrefutably one of the best in the world at his job.

2012/13 RvP, better than Ruud?
Rvp is far more naturally gifted than Ruud, but Ruud was more clinical and also more driven. Ruud wanted to win so bad, he'bd become a cnut when losing. Succeed at any cost mentality which Robin doesnt have to the same degree.
I prefer RvP though.
I’d say so. That season, he was one of the best we’ve ever had. It’s a shame he declined quicker than any player I can think of!
Fantastic player! What a season he had in 12/13 when we sealed title number 20 in SAF last season!
He was unplayable at times

Last game today.
What a player! Just wish we got him early.

Ruud was Mr.Iceman in the box, always taking a nice little touch to send the defender the wrong way and score. Never seen a better finisher in the box.
Yeah wish we had his prime version now, not one of our players in this squad is close to his ability and output.
He wasn't with us for long but he was absolutely brilliant.
What a player! Just watched back his goal against us with Fenner and how telling it was everyone clapping him up and singing ‘Oh Robin Van Persie’, not many players can say that achieved that level of love with OT crowd. Puts to shame our current strikers who can’t trap the football.
After DDG he's my favorite United player this decade.
That season was unreal. Didn't he score against all 19 opponents? These days the whole team can barely manage that.

Wonderful player. Will never forget that goal against Villa.
The striking technique, man. Take me back.Tweet

That season was brilliant. 26 goals and 15 assists in the league, could you imagine any of our players putting up those kinds of numbers now?
Loved this Nike RVP Ad, probably one of the best ads ever made
The first half of his first season. Oh my fecking god.
The best striker we have ever had at this club.

Carried us to our last title. What a player.
He pretty much won us the title six years ago, what a player. He will be missed.
Really wish he had played longer under Fergie.
Wonderful player, the last great striker we had.
The perfect hattrick to seal the 20th title.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It wasn't Robin van Persie. Especially since he has played his whole career in adidas boots
Smashing player. Only Shame is we didn't have him for longer.
He was a joy to watch

God i miss him. He just knows how to score. Positioning, composure and power. There's really no strikers out there like that at the moment. Him and zlatan are finishers.
Him and carrick won you that title.
He really was insanely good - crazy how he only had the 2.5 world class seasons (2012/13 and last 18 months with Arsenal), injuries did hold him back though. Insane technique.
Loved watching rvp. So technically gifted, and a rocket of a shot. Thank you for number 20!
I used to like football.
He was driven in his first season here, wanted that title so badly. A draw with a brace was never good enough for him, always wanted the win and the ball/responsibility. Our last world class signing and attacker.
Would love to get him back involved with the club. Everyone seems to be obsessed with all things Dutch at the moment anyway, and Persie has always been a great technician and if he can pass some of his ideology on would be great.
One hell of a player, absolutely world class. If he has any interest at all in coaching then I hope we offer him a position, his mentality was very strong and his technique was incredible. One of the best strikers I have ever seen.
Classy player. Classy man. Stay classy Robin
Love him. Winning the 20th title for us. Some great moments in that season as well, especially that City goal.
What a fecking player. Love him through and through. That over the shoulder volley he has in his arsenal is pure magic.
Not even close
Sad but true. His technique should be studied at every academy, the video in that tweet is a joy to watch.
What a player! In his last season for Arsenal and in his first season with us, he was absolutely phenomenal. And the truly astonishing thing about the video just above is that for a good portion of the goals he scored the deliveries were nothing special. It was mostly his quality what turned those crosses/passes into goals. From that to Lukaku waiting for the ball to bounce off his body and hit the target or to Rahsford trying to eliminate all birdlife around OT.
