After two consecutive Golden Boot trophies to his name in the last couple of seasons, one with Arsenal and one with United, Dutchman Robin van Persie is the hot favourite to match Henry’s three-in-a-row record. With a fearsome reputation, a good squad surrounding him, and a manager who believes in him completely, RVP has all the ingredients required to make it to the top of the pile. The fact that he can finish spectacularly with either foot only increases his chances even further.
