Man Utd striker Van Persie on wonder goal: I needed that

Manchester United striker Robin van Persie was delighted with his goal in victory over Hull City.

Van Persie's form had been the subject of heavy scrutiny ahead of the game after an ineffectual display in the previous week's win at Arsenal.

"If you score a goal like that it gives you confidence and the team, and if I am really honest I needed that," said Van Persie, who also teed up United's second goal for Wayne Rooney.

"You just have to keep working and those goals, or any goals, will come."
