The French club, Marseille, has made history as they have secured the services of former Manchester United forward, Robin van Persie on loan until the end of the season. The deal was announced by both clubs on Monday and it is expected to be a significant boost for the team.

Van Persie, who scored 22 goals in his debut season with Manchester United last term, will join Marseille on a temporary basis until the end of the season. He will be hoping to make an impact for the team and help them achieve their goals this season.

Marseille have had a tough start to the season and have struggled to find form under new manager, Rudi Garcia. However, Van Persie's arrival could provide a much-needed boost to the team and give them the momentum they need to turn things around.

The Dutchman has been a prolific goal scorer throughout his career and is known for his ability to score from all positions on the pitch. He will also bring experience and leadership to the team, which is something that is sorely needed after the departures of some key players.

Overall, the signing of Van Persie is a major coup for Marseille and could prove to be a turning point for the team. It remains to be seen how he will perform for the club but with his track record, there is every chance that he will make an impact and help the team achieve their goals this season.
