Feynoord coach Robin van Persie not ruling out Man Utd return

Feynoord youth coach Robin van Persie isn't ruling out a return to Manchester United.

Van Persie has been offered the chance to be a part of Ajax coach Erik ten Hag's coaching team should he take the United job.

The Daily Mail says United want to bring in Van Persie as one of the coaches alongside Ten Hag. Van Persie retired from playing in 2019 and became an assistant at Feyenoord in 2020.

He spent three years at United between 2012 and 2015, with his first season undoubtedly his best in Manchester. Following his arrival from Arsenal, Van Persie scored 26 Premier League goals to lead United to their last title victory.

The report claims Van Persie has strong family ties in Holland. But he is yet to decide if he will leave his home country to move back to United.
