Fenerbahce make contact with Man Utd striker Van Persie about January deal

Fenerbahce are preparing a massive bid for Manchester United striker Robin van Persie. The Daily Star says according to reports in Turkey, the Dutch striker was the subject of a recent enquiry from the Superlig side.

It is being suggested that the Turkish club have contacted Van Persie's representatives but have been told a January deal is off the table.

However, it remains to be seen if the 31-year-old's long-term future lies at Old Trafford with injuries and a lack of form limiting his impact under new boss Louis van Gaal.
