FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Friday 17th August
2012
MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust - statement on the
news of the signing of Robin van Persie
Duncan Drasdo, chief
executive of MUST said: "It's really exciting news for us as United fans to see
a top quality player, in Robin van Persie, sign for Manchester United. Of course
we have always backed Sir Alex Ferguson's exceptional management skills to the
hilt so this is great news for our members and Manchester United fans around the
world."
"Robin
van Persie is quoted today as saying 'Manchester
United breathes football. This club is the perfect match for me'
. That is exactly how we feel as supporters too. We live and breath Manchester
United with a passion. We support the team and defend the club through thick and
thin. We are looking forward now hoping for a spectacular start to the season at
Everton on Monday night and perhaps a debut goal for RVP would be the icing on
the cake"
