Robin van Persie is far from finished. And that can only be good news for Manchester United Quoting Van Persie’s interview to ITV, Red View the club’s official magazine quoted the Dutch striker as saying, “"I think I'm on the way. I'd like to make more assists. I have seven goals but for me, as I've said many times, it's not only about goals.
“Of course it's about winning, but I want to make more assists. Until now, I gave only one so I want that to improve a bit. I'm on a good run but I can always do better."
Van Persie’s assist came in the 3-2 defeat to Tottenham for Shinji Kagawa's effort.
The former Arsenal man then gunned down CFR Cluj with a double in Romania.
Asked if the second Cluj goal was his best United goal to date, he replied: "I have to look at it again, but it felt good when it came off.
“Everything starts with a good pass so I have to thank Wayne, because not many players can give a pass like that.
“It was good build-up play before the goal and, when it came to him, I knew he could see that pass and actually give it exactly the way I wanted, so credit to Wayne.
"I think it's the first time we both started together and we're both very pleased with that, but we're all in it together. Chicharito played very well, we have Danny [Welbeck], we have lots of strikers so we're all doing it together."
Good news for United, bad for the rest.
