Robin van Persie RETURNS to Man United after Erik ten Hag gave his blessing for the Dutch striker to watch training this week... as the Red Devils explain the purpose of his visit to Carrington

Former Manchester United striker Robin van Persie has been welcomed back to the club's Carrington training ground this week.

It has been 11 years since the Dutchman fired the Red Devils to their last Premier League title in 2013, and though he left the club two years later, he still holds a close bond with the club.

The 40-year-old was in attendance for United's 3-0 win over West Ham on Sunday, where he reunited with his former boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

He then went out with United manager Erik ten Hag, where they treated themselves to a four-hour dinner at Italian restaurant Cibo in Hale village.
