(CNN) -- Robin van Persie officially arrived at Manchester United from Arsenal on Friday, declaring he was "honored" to be spearheading the Old Trafford club's hunt for a 20th English league title. The Dutch striker is in line to make his United debut in Monday's Premier League fixture against Everton after signing a four-year deal until 2016. He has never won a league title with Arsenal -- where his only trophy was a domestic cup seven years ago -- or at his previous club Feyenoord. "I am looking forward to following in the footsteps of so many great strikers, bringing my experience and playing my part to help the team compete for the biggest trophies in the game. I can't wait to get started," the 29-year-old said in an official statement.
