  • 10 years ago
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson compares his current striking options to the famous partnership of Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole in the 1999 season.

It was announced last night that a fee had been agreed between United and Arsenal for the 29-year-old. It followed a conversation on Monday between Ferguson and his Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger, in which the United manager attempted to pave the way for a deal.

Robin van Persie will make his Manchester United debut against Everton on Monday according to Sir Alex Ferguson.

The Manchester United manager is confident the Dutch striker will complete his move from Arsenal in time to be available for the Premier League match at Goodison Park.
