The Red Devils are reportedly chasing the Dutchman, who has refused to extend his current deal at the Emirates, with Manchester City also in contention for his signature.
2011/2012 was a season unlike any other for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380, as he led the Gunners all on his own.
With the departure of Cesc Fabregas and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Samir-Nasri-c32360 that summer, the team had been shattered and were hardly considered as contenders for the UEFA Champions League places. However the striker’s goals ensured that Wenger’s boys ended the campaign on third
place.
Netting 30 goals, Van Persie was rightfully named the player of the year by the media and has now achieved cult status in London. But the thought of winning silverware on a regular basis crosses the mind of every talented player and the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 International
is no different.
With nothing to really show for his efforts, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 and has quashed all talks to renew his contract.
Instead, he has revealed that he might seek a move this summer or leave for free next time around, when his current deal expires.
"As announced earlier this year I had a meeting with the boss and Mr. Gazidis after the season. This was a meeting about the club’s future strategy and their policy. I personally have had a great season but my goal has been to win trophies with the team
and to bring the club back to its glory days.”
"Out of my huge respect for Mr. Wenger, the players and the fans I don’t want to go into any details, but unfortunately in this meeting it has again become clear to me that we in many aspects disagree on the way Arsenal FC should move forward,” his statement
read.
Amongst his suitors, both the Manchester teams have the upper hand in the race to sign him, as they not only meet his financial requirements but are also challenging for honours at the highest level.
However the Etihad might be a better destination than Old Trafford, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson is still looking for a way to evenly distribute game time amongst his plethora of front-men.
