Robin van Persie has opened up on his Manchester United exit five years ago, insisting he planned to see out the final year of his contract before sitting down for a meeting with "ruthless" Louis van Gaal.
The Red Devils snapped up Van Persie for an initial £22.5 million ($28m) from arch-rivals Arsenal in the summer of 2012, tying the prolific forward down to a four-year deal at Old Trafford.
The ex-Netherlands star instantly provided a return on the club's investment, scoring 26 goals in his first 36 Premier League appearances to help fire United to the title.
