Man Utd's Van Persie: Rio's right - I want to keep winning

Manchester United ace Robin van Persie admits he doesn't want the feeling of being champions to end. Van Persie's hat-trick in victory over Aston Villa saw United clinch the Premier League title last night.

He told MUTV: "I had to wait a long time and I've been thinking and speaking about it with Rio, for example, in the car and he's been telling me: 'Listen, whatever happens, that's the standard.'

"He's right. From now on, our new standard is we want to be champions every year and we want to win more. So we are even more hungry than we were last season because you could just tell, from day one, everyone wanted this and we did well.

"I want to win it again. I want to win more stuff. I want to win the FA Cup, the Champions League, the Capital One Cup. I want to win it all.

"This is a trophy for all of us - the management, staff, all the players and the fans have been brilliant too. They've been absolutely amazing, cheering us on every single game, home and away, so credit to them as well."
