Fenerbahce released a statement confirming the news and revealed that Van Persie’s daughter will be enrolling in the club’s gymnastic school.
The Dutch international joined the Turkish giants after three years at Old Trafford in which he scored 58 goals in 105 appearances for the Red Devils.
Having completed his transfer to Fenerbahce, Van Persie claimed manager Louis van Gaal didn’t give him a fair opportunity to regain his place in the Manchester United team.

The 31-year-old moved from Manchester United to Super Lig outfit Fenerbahce in a £4.75million deal

Van Persie has claimed that he wasn’t given a fair chance by Louis van Gaal to win back his place at United
‘I asked to play in the reserves, to get my minutes, but after was on the bench again,’ Van Persie said in the Sunday Times. ‘The atmosphere changed between me and Louis [van Gaal] and people at the club saw it, but I was always professional.
‘I was still thinking we could come back from holiday and start from scratch, but when I came back it wasn’t an honest battle any more. Fighting to get back in the team wasn’t given to me as an option.
‘I didn’t get angry or emotional. These things are part of football, part of life. You have to make the best out of any situation so I’m doing this by moving on.’
