Man Utd's van Persie lifted by summer signings Blind, Falcao, Rojo

Robin van Persie is extremely excited by the prospect of playing alongside Manchester United's big-name summer signings.

The Red Devils brought in Angel Di Maria (from Real Madrid), Radamel Falcao (on loan from Monaco), Daley Blind (from Ajax) and Marcos Rojo (from Sporting Lisbon) late in the transfer window and the Dutch striker cannot wait to get started with the new Old Trafford additions.

"I can't wait to go and train and play with the world class players we have signed - wow!," said the former Arsenal captain ahead of Sunday's home fixture with QPR.

"That feeling, that we are going to perform well, has only got stronger after the buying of players over the last weeks. I find it very exciting, the arrival of all those new players."

Also joining United this summer were promising English left-back Luke Shaw who joined from Southampton and Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera who arrived from Athletic Bilbao.
