Manchester United is set to complete the signing of Robin van Persie from Arsenal today after the Premier League rivals reached an agreement over the sale of the Netherlands striker.
Both clubs released statements Wednesday saying terms still needed to be finalized and the deal was subject to a medical examination.
No financial details were disclosed, although British media has reported that the London club wanted $31.3 million US for its captain, who has one year left on his contract.
The Dutchman was the Premier League's top scorer last season with 30 goals. But he has refused to sign a new deal with Arsenal, saying he wasn't happy with the direction the club was heading.
