The Dutchman left the Emirates in 2012 and helped United win their 20th league title in the 2012/2013, before Sir Alex Ferguson retired. Van Persie is understood to have felt betrayed after the Scot stepped down and new manager David Moyes allowed his compatriot, Rene Meulensteen to leave. Meulensteen, who is now coach of Fulham, was instrumental in Van Persie leaving the Gunners.
Moyes has also hinted that he will make further clearout after the season, to follow the January arrival of Juan Mata from Chelsea. However, Van Persie's departure will only be possible, if the Red Devils are able to tie Wayne Rooney to a new contract.
According to Rob Shepherd, "It is understood that while Moyes seems to have made Rooney feel more comfortable at the club, there is an uneasy relationship between the new United boss and Van Persie.
"I understand that Van Persie, whose goals fired United to the title last season, has been upset by the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson and coach Rene Meulensteen, like Van Persie a Dutchman, who did much to persuade the player to leave Arsenal to join United for £24million in the summer of 2012.
"The departure of that pair was not in the script sold to Van Persie when, after much deliberation, he opted to leave Arsenal.
"It is also understood that Van Persie and his family have not settled as well amongst the 'Cheshire set' as opposed to where they had previously resided in the London area.
"There have also been reports from Holland that Van Persie has not been happy with the new United training regime.
"Much about Van Persie's future will hang on whether Rooney stays or not."
