Manchester United youngsters Alejandro Garnacho and Facundo Pellistri have had the chance to work with a legend.

United players who are at training this week had the chance to meet and work with former Netherlands striker Robin Van Persie.

The 39-year-old made his name in the Premier League with Arsenal, scoring 132 goals in 278 appearances.

He then moved to United in search of trophies in 2012, winning the Premier League in 2013 under Sir Alex Ferguson.

Van Persie and United boss Erik ten Hag were spotted out in Manchester this week.

The ex-United star is working on his coaching badges, and even posted a photo of himself, Garnacho, Pellistri and United coach Benni McCarthy at Carrington.

"Thanks for the warm welcome Manchester United and Erik ten Hag," Van Persie wrote on Instagram.

"A great time back at Carrington for a trip down memory lane and to learn the ropes from one of the best coaches in modern football."
