Manchester United are willing to put Robin
van persie on the same wage as Wayne Rooney to bring the Arsenal striker to Old
Trafford.
The Telegraph
says their willingness to match the £220,000 a week wages earned by Rooney has
tipped the balance in their favour. The financial rewards will be staggering
for the 29-year-old Dutchman at Old Trafford, and somewhat unprecedented given
the stage of Van Persie’s career.
To invest so heavily
in a player who, as a striker, may have only three years of his prime remaining
not only demonstrates United’s ambition, but is also indicative of how
desperate they are and how willing to abandon usual spending policy to reclaim
their No 1 status.
