#8 Robin van Persie
Trending
In hindsight, the transfer of Van Persie from Arsenal to Manchester United was one which was always going to happen. The Dutchman had been in emphatic form for the Gunners, doing practically everything he could to propel them to success with 30 league goals in his final season in North London.
He’d been with the club for eight years and wanted a taste of supreme success, so when United came coming, it really wasn’t as much of a shock as people make out that he joined up with Ferguson and company.
Manchester United and Arsenal have possibly the deepest rivalry in the Premier League and so it was perhaps the worst possible move Van Persie could’ve made. To worsen the anguish for the Gunners, it would take just a single season for the Dutchman to tast Premier League glory, with United lifting the title in the 2012/13 campaign.
