Emirates Stadium after being disillusioned with Arsenal's plans for
the future, is reportedly due to sign a four-year deal at Old Trafford
for a fee of £24 million.
A statement on Arsenal's official website read: "Arsenal Football Club
can confirm that terms have been agreed for the transfer of Robin van
Persie to Manchester United.
"Van Persie will travel to Manchester on Thursday in order to agree
personal terms and complete a medical ahead of the proposed move."
The Netherlands international is likely to spearhead a formidable
attack for the Red Devils, as Wayne Rooney finished behind the
29-year-old with 27 league strikes last season.
Manchester City and Italian giants Juventus were also thought to be
interested in Van Persie's signature but the Dutchman looks set to
join former Crewe youngster Nick Powell and Japan international
midfielder Shinji Kagawa as Sir Alex Ferguson's summer recruits.
