Van Persie Takes Wife Out

Robin van Persie appeared well rested in spite of football's silly season as the Manchester United striker strolled from a casual lunch with his wife Bouchra in Cheshire on Wednesday. Van Persie and Bouchra visited The Grill on the Edge at Alderley Edge which specialises in steaks and 'no nonsense' British food. United are enjoying a relatively luxurious gap of seven days between matches after their win over Yeovil in the FA Cup Sunday and the visit of Southampton following a flurry of games over the Christmas and New Year period.
