Feyenoord assistant coach Robin van Persie has returned to Manchester United this week.

He is attending Carrington as he works on his coaching badges.

Van Persie and United manager Erik ten Hag dined at Chinese restaurant Tattu in Spinningfields, along with their agent Kees Vos, on Monday night.

Ten Hag, Van Persie and Vos were pictured in discussion as they walked through Manchester city centre following a three-hour meal, says the Manchester Evening News.

It is understood Van Persie, who is the Feyenoord assistant coach, is spending time back at United's Carrington training complex as he prepares for a probable career in management.
