Confirmed: Robin Van Persie Joins Turkish Outfit Fenerbahce

Turkish side Fenerbahce have signed Netherlands striker Robin van Persie from Manchester United for a fee around £4.7m.

The 31-year-old moved to Old Trafford from Arsenal for £24m in 2012 and scored 26 goals in the Premier League as United won the title in 2012-13.

The Netherlands captain fell out of favour with his former international manager Louis van Gaal at the Red Devils and because of no playing regularly he has decided to make a move.

Van Persie, who scored 10 goals last season, will join his former Manchester United teammate Nani at the Turkish Super League side.

"I am humbled to see so many fans turn out to see me. I aim to learn Turkish as soon as possible," Van Persie said during his unveiling.

In the Premier Leauge, Van Persie scored 132 goals in 278 appearances for the Gunners and has netted 58 times in 105 games for United.
