Robin van Persie completes medical as Manchester United move nears completion

Robin van Persie has completed a medical at Bridgewater Hospital ahead of an agreed transfer to Manchester United.

The Arsenal captain's protracted exit from the Emirates Stadium was finally decided to be to the Premier League runners-up on Wednesday and the deal is expected to be confirmed shortly afterward.

The striker will then put pen to paper on a four-year contract worth a hefty £235,000-a-week.


In total, accounting for image rights and salary over the length of the deal, Van Persie is set to earn a mouth-watering £48.9 million, with United already paying Arsenal £24m to secure his services.
