The notion might raise eyebrows among Manchester United supporters, yet Arsenal’s coach harbors intentions of capitalizing on the Red Devils’ recent struggles to lure Robin Van Persie back into the fold.
Arsène Wenger, the manager of Arsenal, envisions the return of Robin Van Persie next summer, particularly if Manchester United, whom the Gunners face this Wednesday, fails to clinch a spot in the Champions League.
When questioned about the matter during a pre-match press conference ahead of their encounter with the Red Devils, the French tactician chose not to delve into details, stating, “Look, I don’t think it’s an ideal subject to address today.” He continued, “I believe it’s best to refrain from discussing this topic for the time being. However, it’s undeniable that Robin Van Persie is an exceptional player. We’re all aware of that.”
Sitting in 7th place in the standings with 41 points, it appears improbable for Manchester United to ascend and secure a spot among the top four. Such a scenario would likely align with Wenger’s and Arsenal’s interests.
