Van Persie makes Fenerbahce bow

admin

The Dutch international, who joined Fenerbahce on a three-year deal from Manchester United, came off the bench with 68 minutes on the clock in Istanbul to join former United teammate Nani who started for the Turkish giants.

However, he was unable to break the deadlock in the Champions League qualifying third-round clash as it finished goalless.

Van Persie and Fenerbahce will now head to Ukraine next week to try and secure a place in the play-off stage.

If the Turkish side do progress, they will be unseeded in the next round and could face Manchester United.

The 31-year-old joined United from Arsenal in 2012 for £24m and won the Premier League in his first season at Old Trafford.

However, he struggled with injury last season and managed just 10 goals.

The return leg between Fenerbahce and Shakhtar takes place on Wednesday, August 5.
