Robin van Persie’s agent rejects claims that
Manchester United striker, Robin van Persie, could be on his way out of the club, after reportedly agreeing a deal in principle with Turkish side, Fenerbahce.
Following two very hard seasons, it has been widely reported that Manchester United are ready to offload the services of striker Robin van Persie this summer.
It is believed that no fee has been agreed between Manchester United and Fenerbahce but the Dutchman has reached a principal agreement with the Istanbul club. Van Persie’s wife is said to have had reservations over moving to Turkey but she is now said to be willing to relocate after spending the last week in Istanbul.
Portugese Winger Luís Carlos Almeida da Cunha, commonly known as Nani or Luís Nani, has completed his move away from Manchester United and he hopes one of his ex- teammates will join him.
The damning words that cascaded down from the Stretford End was a message to Van Gaal that United fans won’t entertain keep ball football forever.
Since then though, things went downhill for Van Persie with Sir Alex’s departure from the club.
However, his form and fitness have suffered since under both David Moyes and Louis van Gaal and his influence on the United side has waned considerably, with Wayne Rooney now the preferred option up front for United. Injuries prevented Van Persie from building a head of steam last season, while he also was not seen as an automatic first choice when he was available. What may be his final appearance for the club came as a 61st-minute substitute for Falcao in the 1-1 draw with Arsenal at Old Trafford on May 17.
Senior officials from Fenerbahce are in talks with United in London about a deal for Van Persie, 31, as they look to make a second signing from Old Trafford this summer.
City accepted Uefa’s punishment in May 2014 after having breached the rules for accruing cumulative losses of £149.5 million in 2011-12 and 2012-13.
