Van Persie 6-4 to mark debut with a goal

ROBIN VAN PERSIE makes his eagerly-anticipated Manchester United debut at Everton and the Dutchman is 6-4 with Blue Square to mark the appearance with a Goodison Park goal this evening. 

Sir Alex Ferguson must decide whether to unleash the Dutchman from the start alongside Wayne Rooney and Ladbrokes are 7-2 both star strikers score, while bet365 make the duo 14-1 to combine for at least three goals.

Betfred rate van Persie 11-4 to notch in a Red Devils victory, while it's 15-2 with bet365 and Paddy Power that the former Arsenal man bags a brace.

Van Persie, who won the Golden Boot last term with 30 goals, is generally available at 33-1 for a glorious hat-trick having taken home two matchballs last season.
