Superb performance. I'd say the best individual performance we've had this season.
Welcome back robin, the real rvp has stood up tonight.
If only the rest of our team showed half his bollocks we would be ok

few have written him off too early methinks.
Replacement for Aguero in fantasy footy methinks!

That was him. Even when lacking service he can do that. Just do it more often Robin.
Lovren and co. will get hammered on the weekend. He's in the mood.
Silenced some doubters today I hope.
I'll take a slice of that humble pie. Good performance, let's hope he builds on it against the dippers.
Van Persie of the old. Took his only two chances and was great at hold up play.
Quoting myself while I can in case this doesn't last
Was like watching him at his best two years ago again, when he was our goalscorer and playmaker all in one. Looked strong on the ball again, like he would never ever waste possession. Thank feck really, given how bad everyone else (bar Young) was.
Pretty much a perfect performance.
In the zone tonight, amazing what confidence does to players.
First time he hasn't looked an 80 year old widow and the rest of the team were awful!!
Seriously that was an excellent forward display.

Absolutely fantastic today, MOTM easily.
The performance tonight just underlined that people were right in being unhappy with him before.
No need to rewrite history by pretending he's not been gash.
This guy will be a world class striker until the day that he retires. Never write him off. Outstanding performance from him tonight. Especially considering how sh*t everyone else bar Young was.
...Oh Robin Van Persie...
...Need I say more? "Talisman".

So pleased LVG stood by him.
A performance full of grit, determination, commitment and perseverance.
He retained the ball excellently on the counter and his two goals were about as clinical as they come.
More of the same please, Robin, and long may your performances continue.

The perfect striker performance tonight.
If he continues to stay in that sort of form now and he actually gets a decent amount of service it'll be a big boost for us heading into the Christmas period. The way he bagged those two goals there tonight and he feeding off scraps along with his work rate was top notch.
Good to see him play well again. Amazing player to watch when in full flow.
Held the ball up, came for the ball and scored. He can hang his head high.
That was not what I was trying to say. I was responding to people saying he should be dropped. I never thought that was the best way to turn his form around. He's starting to look like he might have played through that terrible run of form. Especially considering how shite we were as a team today.
A new man, even apart from the goals he was quality all over the pitch with his old self hold up play. Joy to watch.
MOTM so easily they should make the rest of the side carry him out to get it, as an ironic gesture.
Pity we didn't bench him and start Wilson instead.
A confident inform RvP is simply a joy to behold. I hope he stays fit for the rest of the season and keeps scoring brilliant goals for us.
Looked himself tonight, grew into the match and towards the end he was impressing with every involvement.
Wonderful to see he's still got it.

Immense today. Not just with the goals, which were great strikes, but with his work-rate from the front was really important as well, particularly when Southampton were starting to dominate. So much better than what we've seen from him so far, hope he can keep this form going against the scousers.
Played well tonight. Held the ball up well, and you can't argue with two goals.
He was absolutely brilliant today. Really do not recall anything he did wrong. 2 great finishes both megging the keeper. His hold up play was excellent and he showed that he can still turn it on if he has the confidence to do so. It was a refreshing sight to see.
Forget the goals, that was his best performance since Fergie left I'd say.
Excellent.
Good touch, hold up play, worked hard, fed on scraps from a non existent midfield.
Much improved.

Quality performance, even without the goals, held the ball up so well, was the only United player not to give it away cheaply every 5sec.
Just glad that shit challenge at the end didn't have him going down injured.

Not just the goals, but his calmness under pressure, carrying the ball from the midfield (occasionally taking a Southampton player for a spin around the pitch whilst he does it) - what is it they say about form and class?
Saved us. These three points belong to him.
And I am not saying it because of his two goals. It was his overall strength, hold up and link up play that got us through tonight. Immense performance.

Koeman's pep talk before the game really helped.
Only just realised he scored 2 megs 
That was as good as anything he's produced in 12/13 and 11/12. Absolute perfection.
What a player. Love him!
