Van's My Man

I am a very big fan of Manchester United.

van Persie for United?

This year's pre-season has been all about this man - Robin van Persie. I have been doing the same routine over and over again for the past few days upon waking up every morning - launching the Soccernet and Eurosport app from my iPhone, hoping to see the conclusion of his transfer saga. So this morning I happened to come across the latest update from Mail Online that Manchester United have agreed a £30million deal for Lucas Moura - and Sir Alex Ferguson is hoping to take his spending to close on £50million by ending the Robin van Persie transfer saga this week! That sounds too good to be true, really. I have learned not to trust all these news until I see them on the United website.

It reminds of me of last season when there were speculations leading Wesley Sneijder to United. There was even an article claiming that the transfer deal has been completed. I remembered what a fool I was to believe in that piece of news to the extent of even sharing that to my Facebook. 

Deep down inside me, I really want to see RVP in United jersey. The partnership between RVP and Rooney will be terrific. With the elegant Kagawa supplying them from midfield and both Valencia and Nani crossing from the wings, we are definitely going to cause troubles to the oppositions. Since Berbatov is out-of-favor at United, I was thinking should we exchange him with RVP? Berbatov might fit in very well at Arsenal, who knows. 

Will we be seeing these two men in action together next season?

It is also reported this morning that Lucas Moura will take the trek down from Newcastle for a medical and sign the deal (Moura is currently in the Brazil Olympic squad). Ferguson has stayed behind at Old Trafford especially to complete the formalities. Ferguson has indeed stayed out of tonight's friendly against Valerenga at Oslo leaving assistant manager, Mike Phelan to take charge.

I have not bought the latest United jersey (I do not really like the Home jersey, but the Away kit looks awesome!). The reason? Because I have to wait for the end of RVP transfer saga. I can't wait to have RVP United kit if he were to transfer to United. I'm still waiting for this to be over with. Let's keep our fingers' crossed.

I will end this morning's blog post with a really lame joke that I have been sharing with all my Man. City friends:

Q: Why is the United new Home Kit like a tablecloth?

A: Because it goes on top of the table!!! :>

Hell yeah! We are aiming for our 20th League crown this season!
