Blog: The only way is ethic

It would be easy to wax lyrical about the performance of Robin van Persie at Wigan but there was also something very telling in his post-match interview with MUTV.

The summer signing from Arsenal produced a sublime display and, like strike partner Javier Hernandez, scored twice in the 4-0 victory but he was also quick to acknowledge the contribution of his team-mates, including substitute Danny Welbeck.

As is regularly pointed out, Welbeck has only scored once this term with Ben Foster's superb late save against West Brom preventing him.
