Barcelona are reportedly interested in Manchester United forward Robin van Persie.

The Dutchman topped the scoring charts in the Premier League last season as he picked up a league medal following his summer move from Arsenal.

However, it has been suggested that the striker is already looking to depart Old Trafford in January due to a strained relationship with his new boss David Moyes.

According to Sport, Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino is a keen admirer of the 30-year-old and is preparing a move in the January transfer window.

Van Persie has scored 10 times for United this season, but has struggled with groin and toe injuries in recent weeks.
