"He was one of the best I ever managed, a man with an exceptional technique." - Arsene Wenger
"I remember Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger saying to me 'he's better than you think' when we concluded the deal. He was right. In terms of impact he has had as big an impact as anyone I can imagine." - Sir Alex Ferguson
"Van Persie has done it for years at Arsenal. He's a top player and I love watching him" - Steven Gerrard
"Van Persie had the best movement. When he was at Arsenal and he won the Golden Boot, he had the most movement I'd ever seen. Even in his first year at Manchester United, that's why they won the league, because he scored all the goals." - Romelu Lukaku
"We all knew what he was capable of but you don't realise sometimes when you play against someone, how good a player they are. [You don't realise] until you're training with them every day and playing with them every week and that is definitely the case with Robin. He's just a brilliant player." - Ryan Giggs
