Robin van Persie decided to sign for Manchester United in 2012 after he was tired of not winning much trophies at Arsenal. The move was in form of a shock for many Arsenal supporters as van Persie was one of their star man.
However, the move to Manchester United was a blessing for him as he won the Premier League in his debut campaign. van Persie also won the Community Shield with Manchester United.
Evra recalling the moment while on a Pundit Job with ITV admitted Robin van Persie benefitted from signing for Manchester United and joke by saying 'van Persie was recused from a team of babies.'
'I give you an example when Robin van Persie joined Man United,' he said
'First of all, he came I said "welcome to a proper team, a man team, not a baby team'.
'And he laughed, but he understood straight away because I remember him saying 'Patrice, to be fair, I just feel like now I'm playing for a big team because all of you win many trophies, many medals, and you still go in the gym before training, going in the gym after training.'
'Robin was like a kid, he was just like amazed about that.'
'When he looked at us he'd say like "when I see all of you guys, I have to work hard because I want to win, I want to win trophies.'
