Robin van Persie has spoken of his title winning season with Manchester United.

The Dutchman signed from Arsenal for a cut-price £24 million in the summer of 2012 and netted 26 goals in his opening campaign to beat Manchester City to top spot by 11 points.

"Like all season, it was a great team effort," he told manutd.com.

"You don't do it yourself, you all do it together and that was a season when everyone played his part. The whole squad contributed, not just the players who played the most, because we had players like Chicharito.

"He wasn't always starting, but he made a difference when he came on, like earlier in the season when he got the winner at Chelsea.

"Players who didn't play every week, they were very important that season. We did it together and everyone had his role.

"That's what I like: that everyone was part of it and everyone had a good feeling. It was just that everything came together. There was good team spirit, lots of humour in the team on a daily basis but when we had to train or play it was very serious, very professional. Everything was exactly the way it should have been.

"We'd worked so hard all season, there was no way we were going to let it slip. You're too close to everything you've worked for. So, when the final whistle goes against Villa, you've earned that moment. You just lift up your arms, close your eyes and enjoy the feeling. 'We've done it'."
