Manchester United, Robin van Persie | 2012-08-17 11:26





 

It is official. Manchester United have completed the signing of Robin van Persie from Arsenal, on a four-year contract until June 2016.

The Netherlands international has committed his future with the Red Devils until the summer of 2016 and has joined the club in time for the start of the 2012-13 Premier League campaign.

“It’s an honour to sign for Manchester United,” Van Persie told the club’s official website.

“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.”

Manchester United boss, Sir Alex Ferguson, has also expressed his satisfaction with the arrival of the 29-year-old striker to the Old Trafford.

“Robin is a world-class striker with a proven record in England and in European football,” he stated.

“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.”

“His movement, finishing and all-round ability are outstanding.”
