Manchester United fans taking a morning stroll down Marine Parade in Southampton this weekend en route to St Mary's can be forgiven if memories of one particular visit come flooding back.
It has been, almost exactly, 12 years since a then-recently-signed Robin van Persie, who arrived that summer for £29million from Arsenal, produced a match-winning hat-trick to secure a 3-2 win.
He missed a penalty, too. It could have been four on the day for the Dutchman, who was carrying the goalscoring load in the absence of an injured Wayne Rooney.
