Manchester United striker Robin van Persie will fly to Turkey on Sunday to have a medical ahead of completing a move to Fenerbahce, according to the Turkish club's chairman Aziz Yıldırım.

The Manchester United striker is set to join his former team-mate Nani at the Turkish club, and will travel on Sunday to undergo his final tests ahead of his move

Fenerbahce announced on Thursday that they had opened talks with United over the potential signing of the Dutchman, and it appears that they have struck an agreement, with Van Persie now set to travel for medical tests.

Yıldırım told Anadolu Agency: "Robin van Persie is coming to Istanbul on Sunday."

Goal understands that Van Persie had been in talks with United over a compensation package that would see the striker leave the club, with the former Arsenal forward keen to have the final year of his contract paid up. 

When the transfer is announced, the 31-year-old will link up with his former United team-mate Nani, who joined the club earlier this week.
