‘Still better than Rashford’ – Man United legend’s display in Kompany testimonial sees some Red Devils fans compare him with current star

Posted by

Robin Van Persie showed age is just a number yesterday, as he put in a solid performance for ‘Premier League Legends’ during Vincent Kompany’s testimonial match.

Kompany’s testimonial was held at the Etihad Stadium last night, as players from Man City and the Premier League, past and present, came together to celebrate the Belgian’s career with the Citizens.

Kompany’s side contained players such as Aguero, Silva, Hart, Toure, Lescott, Zabaleta and Ireland, with their opponents’ side containing the likes of Keane, Scholes, Giggs, Neville, Van der Sar and Van Persie.

The match itself ended up finishing 2-2, with Van Persie and Keane scoring for PL legends, whilst Petrov and Benjani bagged for the ‘home’ side.

And following the match, Man United fans took to Twitter to claim that the retired Dutchman is a better player than current ace Marcus Rashford.

Van Persie was brilliant during his first season at Old Trafford following a move from Arsenal, as the Dutch international almost single-handedly fired the club to their 13th PL title.

And it seems United fans still haven’t forgotten how good RVP was for them, and how he compares to their current striking options, if these tweets are anything to go off.
