Robin van Persie looks like he is finally back to his sharpest after scoring twice in Manchester United's 2-1 win at Southampton.

That made it three goals in as many games for the United striker and he has laughed off suggestions he is in decline, vowing to play on for years to come.

His double also gave United a fifth successive win with Liverpool next up at Old Trafford, and, if you fancy Van Perise to continue his recent hot-streak, you can get him at 4/1 to open the scoring on Sunday with bet365.
