Manchester United striker Robin van Persie was spotted having a kickabout on the streets of Manchester.
The Holland international was seen just off Potato Wharf – which is five minutes away from central Manchester – for what has been reported as the filming of a freestyle football program. But according to the Manchester Evening News, the city council said it had not received any official applications to film at the location.
A young boy watched on as Van Persie performed kick-ups and other tricks as cameramen surrounded the United star. Then the Dutch striker took part in a quick kickabout with the boy and other personnel who were on site.
