The 2012-13 season saw the sensational arrival of Robin van Persie at Old Trafford, where his clinical brilliance spearheaded Manchester United to a record 20th Premier League title. The legendary Dutchman secured his second consecutive Golden Boot with 26 league goals, most famously immortalized by his breathtaking volley against Aston Villa to clinch the championship and his dramatic 90th-minute winner in the Manchester derby. As the X-factor in Sir Alex Ferguson's final campaign, Van Persie’s talismanic influence and 30 goals across all competitions cemented his status as a modern United icon.
