Van Persie compares Manchester United and Liverpool transfer policy

Robin van Persie has compared the transfer policy of Liverpool and Manchester United, Mirror reported.

"If you compare it to Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp was appointed and players were selected who fit in with the football philosophy, not from marketing motives. They built the club on a coach's sporting project. At Manchester United they gamble on star names like Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez. That's one way. It is risky,” he said. “If such a player gets injured or does not fit, the whole team is vulnerable. While having a philosophy like Liverpool and not Manchester United creates enormous collective power. The challenge for Manchester United is to see if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can successfully establish a philosophy of his own.”

Van Persie, 36, played for Manchester United from 2012 to 2015.
