The Chevrolet Captiva was among the most popular model selected by Robin Van Persie and Alexander Buttner.

Chevrolet became the Official Automotive Partner of Manchester United as part of a 2012 Manchester United sponsorship agreement. The Chevrolet logo will be appearing on the teams shirts as of the 2014/5 season.

The team players comments on their new chariots:

Robin Van Persie, who opted for the Captiva, said: “I have two children, so this car is really good for me – it’s a family car. It looks very nice, it’s a good car.” The 29-year-old is a recent arrival to Manchester United, but has already made a huge impact and is the Premier League current top scorer with 18 goals to his name.

Fellow Dutchman Alexander Buttner also chose the Captiva. “It’s a really nice car, it’s big, I have a lot of family over from Holland so it’s nice to have a lot of space when we go somewhere,” he remarked.

Keeper Sam Johnstone and Nick Powell went electric with the Volt. Midfielder Powell said: “It feels different; it’s a lot quieter… It feels futuristic, especially with regards to saving energy.”

Wayne Rooney was pleased with his Camaro Convertible: “It’s great, it obviously looks great and I’m excited to drive it. I think when I saw them all together this was the one that suited me best, it looks nice and will drive well too. I chose a manual as I think it’s great to get full use from a sports car.”

Patrice Evra opted for the Camaro Coupe: “I like the shape of the car, it’s fantastic. I just had my first drive and I was really surprised, it drives well and you can feel it’s really powerful, I’m very happy.”

Michael Carrick was pleased to get back behind the wheel of a sports car with his Corvette GS: “I used to have a Dodge Viper but haven’t had a sports car for a while so this is a great opportunity for me. When I got the chance to have this Corvette I snapped their hand off!”

Javier Hernandez’ choice of Corvette as his chosen model was down to size: “I looked at the Camaro and the Corvette, but this is not too big, like me, we are quite similar!” he said, “It’s a very good car and I am very happy Chevrolet offered this to me.”
