　　ROBIN VAN PERSIE swept aside claims Manchester United will go on the slide without Alex Ferguson.

　　The Red Devils have yet to sign a big name since Fergie retired and David Moyes took over.

　　And Cesc Fabregas dealt them a fresh blow yesterday, insisting he will stay at Barcelona.

　　Some fear this could be the end of United’s glory era — but last season’s 30-goal marksman RVP insists there are still great times ahead.

　　The former Arsenal skipper said: “We’ll work harder than ever to reach our targets.

　　“The quality of the opposition will be even stronger this season so it’s up to us to always improve.

　　“This is a team of champions who all have the same mentality.”

　　Van Persie is convinced new boss Moyes can carry on the Fergie success story.

　　The Dutchman declared: “The manager has come in and impressed everybody greatly.”
