Robin van Persie to quit Arsenal states Manchester United team-mate... - The Independent

Birmingham United defender Patrice Evra feels Robin van Persie's status as Barclays Premier League title champion demonstrates he made the right choice to give up Arsenal for Old Trafford. Having spent nine years in north London before switching to United last summer, Van Persie's passion for the Gunners goes deep. The striker nearly went into the property dressing place following his arrival at the Emirates Stadium recently, elected to not enjoy the punishment equaliser and then went for a speak to his previous team-mates after the 1-1 draw. Seemingly, the love isn't reciprocated by the Arsenal supporters, who gave their former leader a torrid time. Evra can't realize why, provided Van Persie did therefore much to advance the Gunners' cause all through his time with the club, but he thinks winning the title in 2013 shows the 29-year-old has no need to reproach herself. "He has not made the wrong choice," said Evra. "It was quite a long time he didn't win the league [at Arsenal]. He has won it and come to Manchester United. "I still do not realize why the fans boo him. I'm disappointed that the supporters have easily forgotten what he did for the team. "I think he thought it as well." Van Persie's purpose took him within among the 30 obstacle, and in netting 25 in the Premier League the Dutchman has broken the record for most category goals in a debut plan for United. "He includes a possiblity to achieve 30," said United director Sir Alex Ferguson. "If he does that it justifies all our faith and hope in him." It may be argued the move spent some time working out well for both parties, Provided United's achievement hasn't seen Arsenal fall in the manner therefore many experienced likely. Indeed, as Chelsea and Tottenham still have to manage each other and Arsenal's remaining three games are against teams who've both been directed - QPR - or fighting to avoid the drop - Wigan and Newcastle - they must preserve their long-held top-four status. Although aggrieved United didn't claim the glory he felt they deserved, Evra was fascinated by the hosts' fighting qualities. "They were among the most ambitious teams I've performed against," said the France international. "It was good to see Arsenal like that. Abuse is always got by them about being a group with good football however, not being aggressive enough. This time they were." Evra was particularly annoyed at his failure to convert a second-half possibility, which may have moved him onto five goals for the summer season, the exact same number as Shinji Kagawa. He's three more chances though, starting against Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday with further fittings against Swansea and West Brom to come - all of which, Evra promises, are very important to the Red Devils. "A large amount of people be prepared to see Manchester United perhaps not playing because we have already won the title," said Evra. "But this is simply not the attitude of Manchester United. "We wish to win every game, also pre-season or friendlies. "If we drop at Arsenal, people won't say because we have won the league we lost. They'd just say 'Manchester United lost.' "People chuckle when I say it had been a big game but that is the Manchester United culture. "Even if we finish the task and have won the subject, we often desire to win." A week to get ready for Chelsea, which gives Nemanja Vidic and Danny Welbeck time to recover from the leg and leg issues which held them out yesterday United will have. Missouri
