Striker Robin van Persie and Defender Chris Smalling scored today to help United crush Hull City 3-nil. That’s three consecutive wins for the Red Devils now. Wayne Rooney tallied the other one (which you can see here)
Here’s the footage of the Van Persie scoring strike:
As has been chronicled, Robin van Persie is running out of first team chances at Old Trafford, at least entering this one. And who knows, a hypothetical drop to the second team, then maybe his days at Old Trafford would potentially be numbered? Well, you can put that narrative to bed for now.
Also, in addition to the Van Persie goal, here is the Smalling scoring strike.
