Van Persie Hunts More Trophies

Robin van Persie is expecting to win more trophies after landing the Barclays Premier League title and the Golden Boot in his debut season with Manchester United.

The league's top scorer claimed his 26th goal in the competition during the final-day draw at West Brom to hit the 30-mark in all competitions. Although Sir Alex Ferguson is retiring, van Persie is convinced that more glory will follow under new manager David Moyes.

"This is a great bunch of players," explained the Reds' No20 on MUTV. "Everybody wants to work for each other and share the success and I'm 100 per cent sure that we will play for trophies every year and, hopefully, win a few every year. That's our standard for this team.

"The Barclays Premier League means everything and the Golden Boot is like a little bit extra but, as I explained last week, I think they should make 25 of them because we do it together.

"Today again, for example, it was a great cross by Antonio Valencia and an easy goal. We did this together and I'm so happy with how everything went. This is a great team and, hopefully, we can go for even more trophies. I'm sure we can.

"Of course, we get a new manager next year and everybody is looking forward to that. It's a new challenge for everyone. We'll have a nice break now and then we go again."

Van Persie admitted it was a crazy game at The Hawthorns to end the title-winning season but he appreciated the send-off that Sir Alex received from both sets of supporters.

"I was waiting for some Fergie time, you know, at the end," joked the Netherlands international.

"But it didn't happen. It was good fun for everyone, to score 10 goals, so I think the fans are pleased.

"Sir Alex deserved it [the acclaim], to be fair, after 26 and a half years at United and, before that, at Aberdeen. He's unbelievable and I think what the West Brom fans did was a nice touch.

"Of course, when you speak about players like Scholesy [Paul Scholes] and managers like Sir Alex, I think it's right to do that [show respect]. It doesn't always happen in football but, today, it did and I'm glad that it did."
