Don't deny the talent of RVP!

He had arguably his best season in an Arsenal shirt, scoring 37 goals in 48 appearances, including 15 assists. Hat-tricks and goals were smashed into the back of the net, home and away, in big games and small, when his team needed him most, he bailed them out of jail. Yet fans across the world continue to deny the quality and class of Robin Van Persie.

There is no denying his fair share of injury problems in the past. It's also true that he's never had a season as good as that, but how many top strikers score 30+ goals year in year out? If I look at United's strikers, I feel only Rooney can fit into the same class a category, in which Van Persie fits. The truth is, Rooney has only scored 30+ goals in two of his eight seasons at United. It's impossible to stay right at the top year in year out, very few players have ever done that, in recent times I can only think of two. Ronaldo and Messi.

Fans and pundits always debate on Van Persie's injures and emphasise how he's always out. But statistics tell me he's only played less than 30+ games in only two of his eight seasons at Arsenal. Sir Alex has admitted he's approached Arsenal and made a bid for the star. Surely the best of managers wouldn't be in for someone if he's always injured. So is the injury prone story just a myth? Yes he is 29 and he won't be getting any younger, but we signed Berbatov at almost the same age. Berbatov had never hit the heights of Van Persie, but we were desperate to sign him, so why are fans being sceptical?

I know United don't normally go out and buy big stars. We like to buy younger players and develop them into superstars. That's one of the great facts about United. However, buying one superstar every now and again shouldn't be frowned upon. Of course this is just my opinion, but that's the beauty of football. It's a game of opinions. I just believe Van Persie is a world class striker. When in top form, he really does score when he wants and I would be absolutely delighted to see Van the man in a red shirt next season.

Van Persie had a good career at Arsenal, but he never got anywhere near the amount of trophies a player of his calibre deserves. A man once said, every great story, demands a great ending. I can see that great ending being completed at the theatre of dreams. I have to also remember, that we might not even sign him and if we don't, where ever he goes, he'll surely be a success. Lets see what happens.

The truth on transfers!

Year after year, United fans have to suffer the rumours and lies that are spread throughout the media. Last year it was Sneijder and this year it was Hazard. Various sources claimed the stars had chosen to join United. or claimed to have inside information. Unfortunately, this just got our hopes up and in the end we were left disappointed.

I always believed the media reported the truth. Sadly I've come to learn that the majority of them spew lies and rumours. Most journalists seem to get their information from twitter, they don't carry out any research. All it takes is for someone to tweet a rumour, or an idea and a journalist will create a story on the player. Why? Well a big headline with "Sneijder set to join United" will sell and it's a sensationalised story. People will enjoy reading that!

So why United? Why not any other club? The problem is, we are the biggest club in the world. We have the biggest fan base in the world and in England. So anything regarding United has the most chance of selling. Of course some papers do report facts and even if the story is just pure speculation, it can turn out to be a good read, but people need to stop accepting everything they read as the truth.

So who are United going to sign? Well Sir Alex Ferguson said in his press conference, "one player but possibly two." So this indicates to me the following. We are in desperate need of a left back. No disrespect to Brady, but if Evra gets injured in March, we cannot afford to play Brady against Barcelona. So a left back surely has to be the priority. Sir Alex said hopefully we can get one more. There has been speculation surrounding Moura and Van Persie, but I won't get my hopes up.

Why Moura after we've just signed a attacking midfielder in Shinji Kagawa? Van Persie seems the more likely option for me but I still doubt that. Signing the Dutchman would be a huge buy and we're not desperate for a striker, yet it would be exciting to see how he'd pair up with Wayne Rooney. A left back is the definite signing for me and anything else is a bonus. With Vidic back and the addition of Kagawa and Powell, we are looking very strong. This is adding to a team that came away with 89 points last season. This can only leave a bright future for Manchester United!

Aguero goal will be a blessing in disguise for years to come!

It's finished at Sunderland, Manchester United have done all they can, that Rooney goal was enough for the three points, Manchester City are still alive here, Balotelli.... Aguerooooooooo...... hits the post!

It could have been so different. Manchester United were on the verge of completing the great escape, with three minutes to go, Manchester City had to score twice to snatch the title from Manchester United and their dreams came true in blue. It was as painful as it gets for the United faithful, who watched their team devastatingly throw away an 8 point lead. Yet this could be the start of something very special for United.

Had United won the title, would Sir Alex have been able to convince the Glazers for more investment? Would Mancini have been offered a new 5 year deal? Arguably there are better valued and more respected managers across the world. It's possible that the panic button would have been struck with full force and Manchester City would have gone berserk in the transfer window.

Madness with Mancini is what comes to mind when I heard the news of a new 5 year deal. That's a lot for a man who won just one league title on goal difference. Of course they are the Champions and we have to respect that, but will the dice role up the right number for him every season? Mancini looked clueless on the touchline when Mackie completed a wonderful QPR counter attack to take them into the lead, only for some Arab cash to bail him out in the last few minutes.

Manchester United came back from the Munich air disaster. Sir Alex Ferguson has defeated Dalglish, Wenger, Mourinho and Ancelotti. I can see Mancini being added to that list in the near future and this might just be the start of another United dynasty. Forza Sir Alex!
