Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has spoken of his 'admiration' for teammate Robin van Persie.
The 29-year-old moved to Old Trafford from Arsenal in the summer and has since netted 12 goals in 18 matches for the former Premier League champions.
"You can only sit back and admire his finishing inside the penalty area," De Gea told the Manchester Evening News.
"When the ball falls to Robin it's as if you can predict the outcome before he's even taken his shot. He's deadly inside the box and he knows where the goal is."
The Netherlands international is expected to feature for the Red Devils in their clash against Reading tomorrow.
