Who will benefit from this Van Persie menace?

Well, we thought Wayne Rooney will have a strike partner, but viola, he lost his place on the team, yet. This old man Sir Alex Ferguson has a way of stringing surprises, doesn’t he? So Kagawa and Van Persie seem to be the in thing at the moment, hot cake, you would say. The way that they pull the strings along, you can only imagine what those two are capable of. Meanwhile, you are yet to consider the force that drives these two. There is Ashley Young on the flanks, and Nani on his good day. Not to forget the beastly Antonio Valencia. Tom Cleverley is also proving why he deserves a call up to the team ahead of veteran Paul Scholes, and Anderson, however overfed he is, is also looking promising for this season.

The one good thing that you have to give Manchester United is that by bringing in RVP, they have easily removed all the pressure on Wayne Rooney, and this sure gives him enough time and space to get his act together. At the same time, this means that United can field Welbeck and Chicharito at their pleasure, without necessarily sidelining anyone. Should they get their defensive power back in shape, this team is really going to be worth every investment that has been put into it since the ’99 treble.They say they want their trophy back; well, get in their way at your own peril!
