Finally, it's time for us to reveal the answer to the burning question - Who was the last player to score a Premier League hat-trick for Manchester United? And that player is none other than two-time Golden Boot winner Robin van Persie.

It is fitting that the prolific Dutch strikers remains the last hat-trick scoring Reds players, given the important role he played in his three seasons with the club, scoring 48 goals for them, after swapping Arsenal's Red and White jersey with United's famous Red and Black colors in 2012.

The left-footed player, who was as good as scoring free-kicks as he was scoring with a poacher's finish, scored two hat-ticks for the Red Devils, both of them coming in Ferguson's final season at the club.

Since his treble in the match against Aston Villa in 2013, he has played for Turkish club Fenerbahce and returned to his boyhood club Feyenoord, where he scored the first hat-trick of his Eredivisie career last month, showing that he's still got what it takes.

So, there you have it, the last Manchester United hat-trick, that was scored on 22 April 2013 at the Old Trafford in their last title winning campaign, by their last striker to reach 30 league goals for them.
