Manchester United striker Robin van Persie has discussed his ambitions of returning to the Champions League this season.
United have struggled to re-find the success that they once had under Sir Alex Ferguson, despite having spent over £150m this summer on the likes of Angel di Maria, Radamel Falcao and Marcos Rojo.
But, Van Persie insists that he and his team-mates are now focused on seeing the club return to the Champions League.
“That’s our aim this year to be sure,” he told reporters. “To be in the top four.
“If you look at our players, fans, squad, stadium, it’s normal to be in the top four. This year we have a great manager, great staff, great fans so, when you look at everything together, it makes it hard [not to be in the Champions League].
“Everything is in place to be up there competing with the very best teams. I think we can do it and we will.”
