After telling his manager Arsene Wenger that he had no desire to play
for Arsenal anymore with one year left on his contract he had been
pursued by three teams, Juventus, Manchester United, and Manchester
City. With the English Premiere League season kicking off this weekend a
deal had to be done, the winner of that deal is now Manchester United.
The club has completed a transfer for a fee of 22.5 million pounds (34.5
million US dollars). The Dutch international Van Persie will now be
teaming up with Wayne Rooney as the two main attackers for United. This
deal is sure to leave Arsenal fans fuming as this marks another major
talent not only leaving the club, but going to one of their most hated
rivals. If you aren't familiar with soccer (football) imagine a player
leaving the Yankees to go play for the Red Sox, or a Laker going to the
Celtics, and multiply that by 20 times.
