Sir Alex Ferguson believes that Robin van Persie has added a killer instinct for Manchester United after watching the Dutchman score twice against Wigan Athletic this afternoon.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has hailed the quality of Robin van Persie after he starred in this afternoon's 4-0 win at Wigan Athletic.

Van Persie and Javier Hernandez both bagged braces as United cruised to victory at the DW Stadium.

Ferguson has admitted that he had high expectations when he signed the Dutchman in the summer, but thinks that he is living up to those lofty standards.

He told BBC Sport: "Wigan are a difficult team to play against, particularly at their own ground so 4-0 is a good result for us. The game started slowly but once we got the first goal we were away and we were happy to go in a half-time 2-0 up.

"Hernandez is a goal scorer, a real penalty box player.

"Van Persie's ability to play is exceptional and his first goal was magnificent. We expected him to be a major player and add something to us and that is exactly what he has done."

Van Persie leads the Premier League scoring charts with 16 goals in 21 games.
