Van Persie officially with Man United

By: Elliott Smith | Latest Football News | Saturday August 18 2012 7:26

 

Dutch striker Robin van Persie's been officially unveiled as a Manchester United player for the first time, after making the 24 million pound move from Arsenal.

Last season's top goal scorer has trained with the club for the first time and believes he'll slot in nicely to the Red Devils.

Van Persie says there's no hard feelings between either team.

"There's just certain elements which were vital for me. We had a different view, that's life. No one is angry at me, I'm not angry at them and this is just a big challenge for me."

He says he believes he'll be a good fit for last season's runners up.

"It makes me proud. It is also a big club. For me it's just a big challenge to do it together with the players here. This morning I had a good session."

Van Persie could line up for Manchester United as early as their opening match of the season on Tuesday morning against Everton.
