Manchester United striker Robin van Persie has aimed a dig at former club Arsenal after claiming that moving to Old Trafford guaranteed him trophies.
The Dutchman moved to United from the Emirates in the summer for £24m and has scored 25 goals on the way to helping the Red Devils clinch their 20th Premier League crown.
Van Persie, who is also likely to win the golden boot, believes that he made the right decision to move up North.
"I wouldn't have moved if I'd had doubts. Instead, from day one I was almost certain we'd win trophies – not in a couple of years but this year", Van Persie told United Review.
"I saw the players training, I saw the way they behaved, the way they lived, their mentality, the way the staff worked, the way the manager and the staff acted... When all those elements combine you end up with a team of champions.
"It also helps when you have so many players who know how to win. After Manchester City lost at Tottenham I noticed a real focus in the squad. Suddenly the Villa game was like a final - win the match and you get a trophy. I could see in everybody's faces how determined they were."
United travel to West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.
