Since his £24million arrival in the summer, the Dutch Striker has netted an impressive 29 goals in 45 games in all competitions this year. Including 25 in the league, which is a record goal tally in a debut season for a Manchester United player. Its not just his goals though, Robin just gets United.
In an interview with the official club magazine United Review, the 29-year old reflects on the season as a whole, including winning his first league title.
Robin, you’re a champion. Does it feel as good as you imagined?
It’s even nicer. I’ve waited for this for a long time. Even with Feyenoord I was close but never a champion. As a youth player, though, I was used to winning trophies, right through from U12s to U18s. We won the UEFA Cup at Feyenoord three months after I started and I remember thinking: “Okay, this will happen every year – winning trophies is part of being a footballer.” But I’ve realised since then it’s not that simple. I had to wait a long time to be a champion but it tastes lovely. I feel like I’m floating on a cloud.
