This is a nice touch from next season’s Manchester United captain.

Robin van Persie gave the Netherlands’ ‘super fan’ the moment of his life moments after his side claimed third place in the World Cup after a 3-0 win over Brazil.

The 30-year-old headed straight for the Oranje Generaal, took off his captain’s armband, and handed both it and his medal to a man who has been following his side everywhere since the 1994 World Cup.

Quality stuff from the striker.
