Robin van Persie has yet again revealed something about Arsenal that
has explained that the club has tried to block his move to Manchester
United in some ways.
The Barclays Premier League top-scorer has revealed that he was asked
by the Gunners to ignore the media during the Euro 2012, before his
move to the Red Devils.
Speculation over Van Persie’s future had already begun when the
striker had stated that he will not sign a new contract with Arsenal
last year, and Juventus along with the Manchester clubs ran to the
Emirates’ gates with offers.
Interestingly, the striker has again said that he would never move to
a club like the way he did to United, and he would do it differently,
if given the chance.
“That was a wish of my club Arsenal and that had everything to do
with the sensitivity of my proposed transfer to Manchester United,” Van
Persie told Sky Sports.
“I didn’t estimate the outcome really at the time. Maybe I was too
naive. To be the only one to not talk, I became a mythical figure and
the outside world thought I was placing myself out of the group.”
He added: “If I had to do it all over again, I don’t know if I would do it the same way. I don’t think so to be honest.”
