| Fergie's got his man! |
The 29 year old Dutch striker signed a £250 000 a week four year deal at Old Trafford and looks set to make his debut at Everton on Monday.
Van Persie said: "Its an honor to sign for Manchester United. I am looking forward to following in the footsteps of so many great strikers, bringing my experience and playing my part to help the team compete for the biggest trophies in the game. I can't wait to get started."
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said: "Robin is a world class striker with a proven record in England and in European football. His talents need no introduction to our fans. He has scored a number of goals against us in some classic battles with his former club, his movement, finishing and all-round ability are outstanding."
United now boast one of the most formidable strike forces in England and Europe, with two of last seasons tops scorers (Robing Van Persie and Wayne Rooney).
Ferguson has even gone as far as to say that his current strike force of Danny Welbeck, Wayne Rooney, Robin Van Persie and Javier Hernandez is close to his 1999 treble wining strike force of Teddy Sheringham, Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Manchester City will have to fight tooth and nail to retain their Premier League title from the Red half of Manchester!
