Van Persie reveals why he can’t return to Arsenal

Browse By

Robin van Persie was a player loved by Arsenal fans until he left for Manchester United. All the good things they had done together came crashing down. And even after a decade, Van Persie believes Arsenal fans still hold grudges to this day.

“I don’t expect to go back to Arsenal, that door is closed,” he said to ทางเข้า ufabet. “

The reason is because I went to Manchester United, that’s what I think. You never know the real reason in football, but I think it’s because of that.”

“I don’t hold any grudges about it, but I think it’s still a sensitive issue for them, especially for the Arsenal fans, and I’ve learned that looking too far into the future doesn’t help. I don’t want that. Now I just live in the present. I’m happy here and proud to be the coach of Herenveen. I feel very welcomed by the club and the fans, and it’s important to feel welcome here.”

Van Persie enjoyed huge success during his time at Arsenal, scoring 132 goals and providing 56 assists in 278 appearances and playing a key role as the team won the FA Cup in 2005. However, his decision to join Manchester United in 2012 changed his relationship with the Arsenal fans forever.

However, Van Persie continued to impress for United, scoring 58 goals and providing 15 assists in 105 appearances, and helping the Red Devils win the Premier League title in 2013.
