West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce believes that Manchester United striker Robin van Persie deserves "credit" for moving to Old Trafford for football reasons.
The Dutchman, who has been prolific for the Red Devils since moving from Arsenal last summer, earned his side an FA Cup third-round replay after netting an equaliser in the dying minutes of a 2-2 draw with West Ham at Upton Park on Saturday.
"The man himself picked the team where he thinks he can get the most trophies, not make the most money, and that is to his credit," the Irish Independent quotes Allardyce as saying.
Meanwhile, the Hammers are switching their focus back to the Premier League this weekend as they prepare to face Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
