It is reported that Roberto Mancini is going to attempt to lure Manchester United forward Robin Van Persie to Italy.
It is well known that during Mancini’s reign at Manchester City he wanted the Dutchman and he said the reason City didn’t win the title that year was because he hadn’t signed him.
It is felt United can’t afford to keep hold of the striker and would be willing to sell him, with the likes of Rooney, Falcao and Di Maria at the helm to score for United.
Persie hasn’t hit the form he was at during his title winning debut season, only scoring 3 times this campaign which may have led to the claims he would look for a move away from Old Trafford.
The Daily Telegraph reported that Mancini is thinking about a move for Robin but he would have to wait untill summer to submit a bid.
Reports have estimated it would cost Inter £10million pound which is £14million pound short of what United paid Arsenal only 2 years ago.
