TODAY AT OLD TRAFFORD



15:21 DANNY WELBECK HAS BEEN DISCUSSING THE POTENTIAL ARRIVAL OF ROBIN VAN PERSIE ON SKY SPORTS NEWS. THE ENGLAND INTERNATIONAL, SPEAKING AT AN OFFICIAL BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE SEASON LAUNCH EVENT IN MANCHESTER, SAID THE DUTCHMAN IS A "WORLD-CLASS STRIKER" AND IT'S A "MASSIVE BOOST" TO THE CLUB. 

IN TERMS OF ATTACKING OPTIONS, WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE LIKES OF CHICHARITO AND WAYNE ROONEY, HE ADDED: "DIMITAR BERBATOV IS STILL AT THE CLUB, THERE'S KIKO MACHEDA AND WILL KEANE, WHO UNFORTUNATELY GOT INJURED. IT SHOWS THE MANAGER HAS GOT A GOOD PROBLEM ON HIS HANDS!" (AM)
14:26 EYES LEFT FOR A COUPLE OF RVP-FLAVOURED VIDEO LINKS - THIS AFTERNOON'S NEWS BULLETIN FROM MUTV AND A MONTAGE OF THE DUTCHMAN IN ACTION AGAINST UNITED FOR CURRENT CLUB ARSENAL. (AB)

13:12 AT A PRESS CONFERENCE ANNOUNCING BWIN AS THE CLUB'S OFFICIAL ONLINE GAMING AND BETTING PARTNER, SIR ALEX FERGUSON SPOKE ABOUT THE DEAL TO SIGN ROBIN VAN PERSIE, STRESSING HE HOPES THE STRIKER WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR MONDAY'S TRIP TO EVERTON. "THE FEE HAS BEEN AGREED, WHICH WE'RE DELIGHTED ABOUT," HE SAID. "HE'S ON HIS WAY UP FROM LONDON AND WILL HAVE A MEDICAL LATER THIS AFTERNOON. 

WE HOPE THAT GOES ACCORDING TO PLAN. HIS AGENT IS IN DISCUSSIONS WITH DAVID [GILL] AT THE MOMENT. HOPEFULLY ALL THESE THINGS WILL BE TIED UP BY THE END OF THE DAY. SOMETIMES THE MEDICALS TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER AND IT MAY CARRY ON UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING BUT I'M SURE HE'LL BE AVAILABLE FOR MONDAY'S GAME. IT'S GREAT TO HAVE A PLAYER OF THE QUALITY OF ROBIN VAN PERSIE COMING INTO THE SQUAD. I'M VERY PLEASED."
