MANCHESTER UNITED and Arsenal legend Robin van Persie has been forced to release a statement after hackers posted porn to his Facebook page.
The X-rated content was posted to the popular retired ace’s story on the social media site, where he has 18million followers.
According to the Star, one clip was of a naked woman on all fours with the viewer encouraged to “swipe up”; to see more.
A second post showed a woman wearing no underwear with the caption: “Swipe up to watch her complete photo.”;
And so Van Persie has taken to Twitter to explain that it was a hacker who posted the naughty content and NOT him.
Van Persie tweeted: “‘m afraid someone hacked into my Facebook account (@ Robin van Persie) early this morning, so if you see cute cat content or whatever may potentially come next before I have control back.. It wasn’t me..”;
A follow-up tweet said: “Unfortunately, for a second time in a short time my Facebook page has been hacked into and inappropriate content has been published without my control.
“We are working on a solution and hopefully.
“@facebook is able to sort this out quickly. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.”;
The stories have since been deleted from the Dutch legend’s account.
Van Persie retired in 2019, finishing his career at boyhood club Feyenoord.
He won a Premier League and an FA Cup while in England, playing for United and Arsenal respectively.
Van Persie also featured in a World Cup and Champions League final.
He has now passed the torch onto son, Shaqueel, who plays for Feyenoord.
The 16-year-old is a striker and has the killer instincts of his dad.
Shaqueel has scored 16 goals in 13 U17 games.
