Sir Alex has gone public on numerous occasion to voice his interest in the striker, but last week admitted he was frustrated by Arsenal’s reluctance to deal with a ‘rival’.
But in the past few minutes it appears a £24m deal has been struck for the transfer and Van Persie will travel to Manchester tomorrow to agree personal terms and undergo a medical.
More news when it becomes available…
Edit:
According to Mark Ogden OF The Telegraph, Manchester United will pay £15m to Arsenal as an initial fee and the remaining £7m will be paid in add ons in regards to appearances, goals & silverware won.
