Robin van Persie meets the little boy that cried when he left Man United

It’s been a pretty heart warming day in the world of football for a change. First we had Romelu Lukaku climbing the stands to hug a Southampton fan he’d accidentally hit in the warm-up and here we have Robin van Persie making us all gush with this lovely little gesture.

If you missed it a video of a boy crying after his hero van Persie moved to Fenerbahce was doing the rounds a while ago.

Well, to cheer up the heart broken Man United fan, he got to meet van Persie over in Istanbul and also picked a couple of Fenerbahce shirts.
