Robin van Persie: Fenerbahce begin talks to sign Man Utd striker

Fenerbahce supporters are very excited and happy with these news.

The Portugal winger was keen on staying at Old Trafford to fight for a place in the starting team, but revealed after deciding to leave that he doesn’t regret making the change. However, since that season, injuries and fitness concerns have not only seen a drop in total matches, but a drop in performance.

“I haven’t had the chance to talk with Robin van Persie yet”, Nani told Sky Sports.

United’s manager is in desperate need of reinforcements up front, with Van Persie set to follow Radamel Falcao out of the club. In a league with lower intensity than the Premier League, Van Persie will certainly thrive because of his technical ability.

The soon-to-be 32-year old will be looking for a fresh start with his arrival at the Turkish club. The Manchester United stalwart was a crucial player in Louis van Gaal’s armory along with Arjen Robben.

De Gea may yet travel to the States with United, but Van Gaal would prefer any deal with Real to be concluded before the team fly off at lunchtime on Monday. The flying Dutchman has looked past his prime and and his exit leaves United short of strikers.

The ESPN FC panel discuss the reports that Manchester United’s Robin van Persie is off to Turkish side, Fenerbahce.

Muller, who is already one of Germany’s leading World Cup scorers and is still in his mid-20s, is settled at Bayern Munich, with the club not wanting to sell.

Van Persie will replace Dirk Kuyt as the Yellow Canaries’ only Dutch player and the striker will become the the club’s highest paid player.

So Ed Woodward must have someone lined up to succeed Robin van Persie.
