Na. Wants to win stuff.

Just 24 hours after the pisscan announced he was forced to declare United's bid, because Arsenal had done so (still waiting for anyone to produce evidence of this) United now fear being blown out of the water by City.
Mancini is at odds with the owners and demanding they pay whatever it takes to secure RVP and United won't be held to ransom and they will continue to put their faith in youth.
This is unlike City, who he considers as favourites for the title ("No doubt about that") yet insists he isn't losing sleep and United are the team to fear.
So many contradictions, so many lies. Groundhog day.

Why wait till now? Surely he got assurances as to who he could sign?
It would be barmy if he hadn't strenghtened his position at the club this summer.

So any United 'interest' in RVP was just posturing for their fans, essentially?

Pretty much, but it's a a combination of things/agendas.
United have an upcoming market float in New York and have to be seen and heard making the right noises.
What Ferguson has done so far re Van Persie is akin to them bidding £10m for Messi. Would he take Messi, pretty sure he would!
Would Barcelona accept £10m, would Messi accept £100k a week?
Makes for good headlines and keeps the pot boiling. A win win.
But he's currently chancing his arm on buying a 50p raffle ticket when he knows he might have to buy a few more raffles tickets to get even close.
Has clearly been given an indication Van Persie would at least consider them.

Cheers Tolmie, I think it goes without saying that Van Persie would consider United if the personal terms were competitive, so no reason to be too panicked by him giving that indication as far as I can see.
It's looking like this one could rumble on right up to/past the start of the season then a la Nasri?
