The Manchester United striker is edging ever closer to a move to Fenerbahce having perhaps not accumulated the silverware to match his sublime talents in England.
Scroll far enough down the list of the players with a Premier League winner's medal and eventually you find him. He is below David May and Raimond van der Gouw, John Obi Mikel and Joleon Lescott, tied with Clayton Blackmore and Jiri Jarosik, Stefan Savic and Luke Chadwick.
But he is there. Robin van Persie was a champion in 2013. It is the only time he won the title and, as he heads for Fenerbahce, it will remain so.
