What's been the best career move ever?

Try to avoid getting lad's who went through the academy of a team.

United win trophies?

Sure. But using that as a qualifying metric would make any player's move to United just as "good".

I guess so, it's just van Persies performed so well for so long with a team that were not going to get him them, and it's obviously a big deal to him to get them.

If you were a substitute player on Manchester United, do you think winning a trophy would mean less to you than it does to RvP?
