7 Former Manchester United stars who are still playing

#3 Robin Van Persie

De Graafschap v Feyenoord - Eredivisie

Robin van Persie joined Manchester United from Arsenal in the summer of 2012 and was instrumental in winning the record 20th title for the Red Devils. In what is widely described as a coup by Sir Alex, the legendary manager managed to convince Arsenal to sell him their most potent weapon and van Persie fired United to the league title, scoring some stunning goals in the process.

He also won the Community Shield in 2013, however, even though he was a goal machine for United in his first season, scoring 30 goals in 48 games, the goals and his performances waned with time and after three years at Old Trafford, van Persie finally moved on. He had scored 58 goals in 105 games.

van Persie joined Turkish side Fenerbahce in July 2015 and spent two and a half seasons there, playing 87 games and scoring 36 goals. In January 2018, he canceled his contract with Fenerbahce and returned to his boyhood club Feyenoord. He has since scored 11 goals in 20 games. He recently turned 35 and has started this season brightly, scoring four times in six games.
