Premier League legend Robin van Persie has admitted that his Manchester United shirt was more ‘special’ than his Arsenal one, this will be a bitter pill to swallow for some Gooners.
After eight successful years with the Gunners, Van Persie shocked everyone when he left the north London outfit for rivals Manchester United.

This was Van Persie’s one and only Premier League title, in eight years with the Gunners he won one FA Cup and was a runner up in the Champions League.
Whilst some Arsenal fans may be disappointed with the striker’s comments it’s hard to disagree with his reasoning, the top-flight title was clearly something that Van Persie chased for years – it’s not surprising to hear how ‘special’ his United shirt makes him feel.
