London - Manchester United striker Robin van Persie has overcome his early season slump to score three in as many games, including both in the 2-1 win at high-flying Southampton on Monday.
"It was a hard start to this season. It's hard to maybe pick things up straight away after the World Cup," the 31-year-old Dutchman told MUTV.
"I don't think it's an age thing.
"Over the past couple of
weeks I've been feeling very well physically.
"I feel good and I don't think
it's a coincidence that the goals are flowing in much better now."
Manchester United host Liverpool on Sunday at 15:30.
