Robin van Persie says he turned down the chance to return to Manchester United this summer because his family is happily settled in the Netherlands.
The 38-year-old was wanted by Erik ten Hag to become part of his backroom staff, with the new manager eager to bring in someone who has experience of how things work at Old Trafford.
Van Persie was tempted by the offer but says he decided to stay in his role as a coach for the first-team and youth set-up at Feyenoord, where his 15-year-old son Shaqueel plays.
