"It’s an honour 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", Van Persie said on the Man United webpage.
United’s veteran manager, Alex Ferguson, was "happy" to have the Dutch striker and hopes to be able to include him for the team’s Premier League opener, to be played against Everton on Monday.
"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", Ferguson pointed out on the club’s website.
