Ferguson Hails Van Persie Signing as the ‘Perfect Owen Replacement’

Robin Van Persie has completed his £24m ambulance journey from Arsenal to Manchester United. A move hailed by Reds manager Alex Ferguson as the perfect replacement for Michael Owen.

The Dutch Darren Anderton has signed a four year deal and could make his debut sometime after Christmas dependent on him not stubbing his toe on the coffee table or banging his funny bone.
Santa’s favourite football manager Ferguson told World of Sports: “Michael’s departure last season left a gapping hole in the middle of the treatment room that not even Anderson could fill, but Robin is the ideal player to fill that void.”
The move also secures over 20 jobs at United’s state of the art Owen Hargreaves medical facility which has reportedly spent ‘thousands of pounds’ over the last three seasons on an orthopaedic chair, a stannah stair lift and one of those baths with a door on the side so you can just hobble in and out of it. An investment which many saw as risky, but that now looks like a shrewd bit of business.
Van Persie could be unveiled to the Old Trafford fans before the United’s first home Premier League game against Fulham as long as his mobility scooter arrives in time.
