So, it looks like Robin van Persie is heading towards the Old Trafford exit door.
According to reports, the Holland striker – who will be 32 next month – has agreed personal terms with Fenerbahce ahead of a move to Turkey.
If it proves to be true, United fans will be sad to see him go.
So Van Persie leaving. Man gave us all for a Premier League Title. One of Fergie's best ever signing. Will miss him so much!

If it is true that van Persie is leaving I will miss him.. but at least that means we will sign a new striker.

Van Persie "I chose the number 20 because I want to help United win their 20th league title" He achieved his goal. #MUFC

It will be disgraceful if we force Van Persie out and sell him so cheaply. He single-handedly won the league for us, he's been great. #mufc

The potential move took a lot of people by surprise.
Wow. Van Persie. I'm shocked. Eh?

Devastated about Robin Van Persie. One of few players that I adore and I still think he can offer United a lot as a forward ðŸ˜ðŸ’” #MUFC #RVP

And there was some concern about United’s forward line for next season.
Van Persie gone? Falcao gone! Hernandez broken collarbone! Surely we must have a striker lined up? #MUFC

No Falcao,no van persie,Wilson on loan and Rooney is a James hunt Tremendous

Of course, it was also an opportunity for Arsenal fans to let off some steam…
Robin Van Persie has agreed terms with Fenerbahce. Let's take a moment to laugh at the man who thought he was too big for us!

Robin van Persie went from being valued at £50mil to £5mil real quick. @Persie_Official

Van Persie's a story that reaffirms why "the grass ain't greener on the other side"

Van Persie traded his statue for a Premiership medal and will be remembered nowhere. Enjoy slow, second-rate Turkish football ðŸ

…and for United fans to fire back.
Van Persie will be remembered as a United legend. And also too good for Arsenal.

Van Persie wasted 8 years at Arsenal, but fulfilled his ambition of winning the league within 9 months at United.
— Just Cantona (@JustCantona) July 4, 2015
Left Arsenal. Won the league. Won Golden Boot. Got a guard of honour from Arsenal. Worked with Sir Alex So much for RvP to regret. SO MUCH!
— Yomi Kazeem (@TheYomiKazeem) July 4, 2015
But while United and Arsenal fans bicker over his legacy, everyone else can just remember his contribution to English football.
Robin van Persie may not be a legend at either Arsenal & Manchester United, but he is for sure a Premier League legend.
