Arsenal striker Robin van Persie will make his debut in a Manchester United shirt against Everton on Monday, coach Alex Ferguson was quoted as saying Thursday.
United have already agreed a transfer fee with Arsenal and the deal is subject to the Dutch forward signing a contract and passing a medical.
“Sir Alex Ferguson confident Robin Van Persie will make debut against Everton on Monday,” United said on their official Twitter.
The Everton away game will be United’s first league fixture of the new season.
Van Persie joined Arsenal in 2004 and has since made 277 appearances, scoring 132 goals.
He has scored 29 times for the Netherlands in 68 appearances.
