London, Jan 2 : Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has agreed with Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini that striker Robin Van Persie could be the one player to make a difference in the Premier League title race.

Ferguson has claimed while signing Van Persie, who snubbed rivals City to sign for them, he was always aware that the Dutch striker's maturity would always make a big difference, the Daily Mirror reports.

Ferguson said Van Persie is a complete footballer and his ability to score as well as make goals is fantastic. Fergie added that they signed Van Persie during his peak form and the club is enjoying its dividends now. (ANI)
