Sounds like Van Persie is coming to United. I hate to be the pessimist, but the club is quite thin in centre back at the moment, and feel that's where their efforts should be prioritized.
Seeing Mancini get his panties in a knot, makes me smile though...

Carrick will be starting the season as centre back for United, and for England next Wednesday as the holder -- as Stuart Parker is hurt.
No Stevie G, JT or Roonie - but Fat Frank is back. Interesting to see how Walcott plays as a forward too.
