The 33-year-old ace then joined Manchester United in the 2012 summer transfer window when former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson convinced Wenger to sell the ace ahead of the final year of Van Persie’s contract at the Emirates Stadium.
Van Persie also netted 26 goals for Manchester United which saw the Premier League giants winning their 13th Premier League title much to the disdain on many Arsenal fans.

“Seriously, you sell your captain and your best player to your number one rivals and they win the league and he wins the golden boot.
“You think he’s still the same ruthless winner he was before?”
Arsenal have failed to win the Premier League title since we won it in 2004 but promising signs are being shown this season with only one defeat, and now we’re sitting in third in the league, with 5 straight home games to come…
