TEAMtalk : Â Â Sir Alex Ferguson has dismissed claims that Manchester United have been overly dependent on the goals of Robin van Persie this season.
With 21 goals to his name already – and 10 in his past 10 appearances, Van Persie has made a phenomenal start to life at Old Trafford following his £24million move from Arsenal.
The Dutchman has earned warm praise from his new boss, who is not just delighted by the contribution Van Persie has made on the field, but also the example he has set with his professionalism off it.
However, Ferguson does not believe that United cannot cope without their star striker.
