Former Arsenal star might be planning to leave the Red Devils. Manchester United are looking to lure world class players in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Midfield and defensive reinforcements must be their priority, however, they may as well have to sign a world class striker as well if Robin van Persie departs Old Trafford.
The Dutch international signed for the Red Devils at the start of last season and helped them win the premier league. This season, he has mostly been on the injury table while United have struggled in all competitions.
Now that United might not be playing Champions League football next season, Robin van Persie have been linked with moves away from Manchester United as he reaches the twilight years of his career.
In such a scenario, Manchester United manager David Moyes has to sign a quality replacement and he has lined up Colombian and Porto star Jackson Martinez.
According to reports, Manchester United are ready to trigger €41m release clause of the highly talented star who has been scoring for fun since joining the Portuguese club.
This season, he has scored 27 times in 45 appearances and is a proven goalscorer like his compatriot Radamel Falcao who plays for Monaco.
United do have the likes of Hernandez & Welbeck but Robin van Persie is on another level and Martinez can be an ideal replacement for the former Gunner.

He is slow, can’t match with BPL speed and for that case he is not a World class, as simple as that.
I Don’t think we need a striker nw, not to talk of martinez. Moyes should just try nd rap up deAl for{ SHAW, MANGALA, GARRAY, KROOSE,REUS,GRIEZMAN ND CARVALHO
RVP is a football icon – a proven goal scorer. DM is a proven failure. Assess properly who needs to be replaced.
Release RVP and replace him with Jackson martinez??!!. You gotta be kidding. They are of different level all together. If moyes does this, it goes a long way to prove how outdated moyes’ tactics and game play is.
what the hell Moyes is trying to do! The only person to replace RVP is Diego Costa, otherwise you leave RVP in Old Traford. Go for Reus, Shaw, Cavalho,Mangala, Kroos and Hareira.
