Man United Agree Van Persie Deal

Manchester United have confirmed they have agreed a deal to sign Robin van Persie from Arsenal.
The announcement comes after an intense period of negotiations and is subject to Dutch striker Van Persie passing a medical test and agreeing personal terms.

“Manchester United is pleased to announce it has reached agreement with Arsenal Football Club for the transfer of Robin Van Persie,” said a club statement.

“The deal is subject to a medical and the agreement of personal terms. A further announcement will be made in due course.”

It is not anticipated there will be any problems with either remaining part of the deal.

And providing it goes through without a hitch, Van Persie could face Everton in United’s opening Premier League game at Goodison Park on Monday.

No fee has been confirmed by United, although it is believed to be around the £20m mark, with further payments to Arsenal depending upon success in the future.

It has been suggested Van Persie will sign a four-year deal.
