Arsenal.com have announced that a fee has been agreed for Manchester United to sign Robin van Persie. The deal which will bring the 29-year-old PFA Player of the Year to Old Trafford is believed to worth between £22-24 Million.

Robin Van Persie will partner the likes of Wayne Rooney and Ashley Young as Manchester United begin the Premier League campaign and aim to retain the title from rivals Manchester City.

Arsenal.com have released the following statement on their website:

€œArsenal Football Club can confirm that terms have been agreed for the transfer of Robin van Persie to Manchester United.€

Other teams such as Juventus and Manchester City look to have missed out on the transfer as United boss Sir Alex Ferguson completes his third signing of the summer.

As Arsenal bid farewell to their top goalscorer last season, they have already welcomed Lukas Podolski, Olivier Giroud and Santi Cazorla to the club.

Whilst Arsenal might be losing a top striker, they could however reinvest the money into the team. It may look like a dark day for Arsenal but it there is enough time to spend the money.
