Robin van Persie cut a delighted figure on Friday morning as he shook hands with new Manchester United interim boss Ryan Giggs.
The pair embraced at Carrington all smiles, just months after Van Persie was in a heated debate with sacked boss David Moyes at Carrington.
Giggs is relishing the opportunity to get United back on track for the final four games of the season, welcoming Norwich to Old Trafford on Saturday.

All smiles: Giggs is relishing the start but insists he will not underestimate Norwich
In October, before United's Champions League tie with Real Sociedad, Van Persie and Moyes had a small discussion on the training pitch, which left the Dutchman looking concerned and apparently blameless.
Van Persie is still recovering from a knee injury, but Giggs said he wants to bring smiles back to the United fans' faces with attacking football, which will no doubt please his injured Holland forward.
'The stadium will be bouncing. The players have been really sharp all week and I have just told them to enjoy themselves on Saturday and to give the supporters something to smile about.'
At the other end of the pitch, Giggs will be without full back Rafael, who has a thigh problem.
