Robin Van Persie will quit Manchester United for Fenerbahce, after feeling betrayed by manager Louis van Gaal.
The Dutch striker is set to join the Turkish club in a £4.7million deal, after Van Gaal made him train alone, while the rest of the United squad participated in a full-scale practice match at Carrington this week.
After the incident, Van Persie told his agent to seal a three-year deal with Fenerbahce worth £240,000 a week.
The 31-year-old will however leave Old Trafford feeling low, after such treatment from his compatriot, whom he worked with at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The pair became close when Van Gaal took over as Holland coach and made the striker his captain.
It is understood that Van Gaal gave Van Persie the order in front of his team-mates and not in a private meeting, further adding insult to injury.
