The Dutchman reiterated he was never going to join the Citizens despite their lucrative offer in the summer and added that United was always going to be his preference because of silverware.
Robin Van Persie’s decision to sign for the Red Devils a few months ago raised a lot of eyebrows, as the striker was seemingly happy at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 and had been crowned as the top scorer of the Premier League.
However, his desire to win trophies was still burning and his spell with the Gunners was hardly silver-laden, instead the club were going through their worst drought ever.
Arsene Wenger’s men last won a honour back in 2005 and since then many Gooners have departed in search of greener pastures elsewhere.

While the Red Devils won the race to acquire his signature, Juventus and their arch-rivals Manchester City were also reportedly after the player, who claims that he would never have agreed to an Etihad Stadium switch.
"I made my mind up very quickly and I am coming into work with a big smile on my face every day. It is not really work, it is my hobby - I love football. But everyone has been so nice to me and I have been having the time of my life here,” said the Netherlands’
International while talking to the media.
Continuing, the talented attacker commented on the upcoming Manchester derby and claimed that he would do everything in his power to come out on top alongside his teammates this Sunday.
"I don't regret that - but of course in a derby you have lots of people involved - the fans and the players. Everyone is really committed and wants their team to win and we'll do all we can to win too,” Van Persie was quoted as saying while speaking to reporters.
United take on the Blues at the Etihad tomorrow and the forward is expected to be given a starting role by Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson after netting 10 times in the Premiership this season.
