Robin Van Persie was once again on the scoresheet at Old Trafford tonight.
The former Manchester United striker scored for his current club Fenerbahce this time as his side lost 4-1 to United in Europa League.
The 33-year-old put the ball in the net from point-blank range in the 83rd minute of the game. The Dutchman’s goal only proved to be a consolatory strike for his side as United were already leading 4-0 in the game.
However, Van Persie did get a heart-warming applause from United fans including former manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
