| All smiles as United agree deal for Van Persie |
United have beaten of competition from the current Premier League champions Manchester City and Serie A champions Juventus to sign last season's top scorer who fired an incredible 30 goals in the Premier League for Arsenal. RVP will travel to Manchester on Thursday to agree personal terms and undergo a medical.
The 29 year old Dutch striker, who will become the first player to leave Arsenal for Manchester United since Viv Anderson in the 1980's, has been the centre of the summer's most high profile transfer saga after the striker went public with his announcement that he would not sign a new deal at the Emirates.
The fee is rumored to be in the region of £22 million pounds after add-ons. Van Persie is likely to partner Wayne Rooney upfront in a formidable United attack. Rooney finished behind Van Persie with 27 goals last season.
Sir Alex Ferguson has finally got his marquee signing of the summer, which will leave United looking a lot stronger after the acquisitions of Crewe youngster Nick Powell, Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa and Chilean striker Angelo Henriquez.
