      Robin Van Persie’s shocked reaction to Man Utd crowd chanting his name at Old Trafford before Barcelona clash

      by

      ROBIN VAN PERSIE cracked a surprised smile as he reacted to Manchester United fans chanting his name at Old Trafford. The former striker joined BT Sport as a pundit for the night as he cast his eye over the Red Devils’ second-leg Europa League win against Barcelona.

      He was joined by BT regulars Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves.
      As the trio built-up to kick-off, United fans could be heard chanting the name of the Dutch forward, who played for the club between 2012 and 2015.
      Once the singing reached his ears, Van Persie broke out into a surprised smile and glanced towards the crowd.
      Fans loved the warm moment.

      One said: “Makes me happy, makes me smile.”
      While another joked that Van Persie had “erased” his Arsenal career, with the star spending eight years at the Emirates before heading to United.
      Despite his relatively short stay at Old Trafford, Van Persie quickly became a fan favourite.
      Sir Alex Ferguson raided rivals Arsenal for their top star late in the window as he looked to respond to the crushing, infamous title loss at the end of the 2011-12 season when Sergio Aguero struck.

      RVP’s immediately gave United a sharper edge and the club took the title back with ease as the Dutchman hit 26 goals.
      With Ferguson retiring, Van Persie could not quite match the same level over his next two seasons but did still reach double figures.
      The star, now 39, visited United training this week and was seen hugging old teammate David De Gea. More

      And as the popular pundit discussed reigning Premier League champions Manchester City, he seemed to suffer an unfortunate slip of the tongue.
      Instead of referring to Pep Guardiola’s side as “Man City”, former Liverpool man Crouch accidentally labelled them “Manchester S****y”.
      And unsurprisingly plenty of viewers watching on at home picked up on the funny blunder.
      One said: “Peter Crouch love it you calling Man City Man S****y live on BT Sport at Anfield.”

      Another wrote: “Crouch just said Manchester S****y 🤣🤣🤣
      And a third added: “Peter Crouch saying Manchester S****y live on BT Sport, get in.”
      Crouchy also got plenty of love for his special corduroy suit brought out for the European night.
      He told presenter Jules Breach: “Well, it’s a big game so the big suit has come out.”

      And the big-game, pre-match hype was certainly justified with a bonkers clash on the slippery Anfield pitch.
      Darwin Nunez flicked in after just four minutes before Thibaut Courtois’ horror moment gifted Mo Salah a second.
      But Vinicius Junior curled in a superb effort to reduce the deficit for the Champions League holders.
      And then he inadvertently made it 2-2 when Alisson passed straight into the Brazilian’s leg as the ball looped into the open net.
      Eder Militao headed in immediately after half-time before Karim Benzema turned on the style with two goals of his own to record a staggering 5-2 win for Los Blancos. More

      An announcement of a number of new channels is expected on Tuesday, according to the Daily Mail.
      Streaming site Amazon Prime began broadcasting Prem games in 2019, but it’s ten years since the top-flight was shown on a new TV channel.
