Reports across the English media on Wednesday confirmed that the Arsenal captain had gotten his wish and a deal had been agreed with United, subject to a medical and agreement over personal terms.
Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson has been trying to sign the want-away star throughout the summer but Gunners boss Arsene Wenger had been reluctant to sell the PFA Player of the Year to a direct rival.
However, after Fergie became directly involved in negotiations and United reportedly increased their bid from around £15 million to over £20 million, Wenger agreed to the transfer given that the unsettled forward only has a year left on his current contract.
Following the agreement between the two clubs, an official statement from Arsenal 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. Further updates will feature on Arsenal.com in due course.”
The transfer could be completed by tomorrow afternoon and RvP is poised to be unveiled at his new club well before they take on Everton at Goodison Park on August 20.
