Former Arsenal and Manchester United striker Robin Van Persie finally explained his reasons for swapping the Emirates Stadium to join Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United in 2012.

The Flying Dutchman was the Captain and top scorer at Arsenal at the time of the move which left many fans surprised. Van Persie, however, explained that Arsene Wenger did not offer him a new contract which left him with two options, move to Manchester United or Manchester City.

The statement has however been strongly criticized by Arsenal fans as the player released an open letter prior to the move stating that after a long hard think, he has decided not to renew his Arsenal contract. That contradicts his explanation of not being offered a new contract.

Arsenal fans were clearly not happy..

Van Persie went on to win the Premier League with Manchester United the following season and was also the League’s Top Scorer. He has since retired from football and now works as a pundit for BT Sport.
