Robin van Persie urges Man Utd to sign goal machine Edinson Cavani this summer and has dig at Arsenal fans in Q&A

ROBIN VAN PERSIE urged Manchester United to sign “goal machine” Edinson Cavani this summer.

The legendary Dutchman also aimed a cheeky dig at former club Arsenal during a Q&A session with his fans on Twitter.

Van Persie gave his followers the chance to bombard him with questions after he revealed he had some spare time on his hands.

The 36-year-old was asked which player Manchester United should look to land in the summer transfer window.

He replied: “Edinson Cavani, brilliant player and available #GoalMachine.”

Cavani, 32, was heavily linked with a move away from Paris Saint-Germain after he handed in a transfer request last month.

Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Manchester United were among the clubs that had been linked to him, but he was reportedly told he must stay at PSG.

David Beckham’s Inter Miami side are also expected to step up their pursuit of the Uruguayan in the next transfer window.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in the market for a striker to fill in for injured striker Marcus Rashford.

After missing out on a number of top targets, United completed a Deadline Day loan move for Odion Ighalo from Shanghai Shenhua.

Van Persie played for Arsenal from 2004 until 2012 before he made the switch to Premier League rivals Manchester United.

And he infuriated Gunners fans when he was asked about the best Premier League moment of his career.

The Dutchman replied: “Lifting the Premier League.”

Van Persie also refused to rule out a move to management as he said: “I have considered it, but not for the moment.

“I’m enjoying being a taxi driver for my kids and doing the dishes… and I LOVE hoovering.”
