If he does want to leave Manchester United (and who could blame him), then he is more likely to go abroad.
United would not sell him to rival competition in the Premiership.
And he spent 8 years at Arsenal with just an FA Cup medal to show for it. He is more ambitious than that, which is why he left in the first place.
If United miss Champions League qualification, and it doesn't look good at the moment, then RVP will be off, probably to Spain.
Van Persie may make shock Arsenal return: With David Moyes poised to initiate a mass makeover of his squad at the end of the season Robin van Persie could be set to make a sensational return to Arsenal, report the Daily Mail. The sale of Van Persie is dependent on Wayne Rooney’s future at the club; if Rooney signs a new contract then Moyes may cash in on Van Persie – a player with whom he is said to have an “uneasy relationship”. In addition Van Persie and his family have failed to settle in Cheshire and would welcome a move back to London. The 30-year-old could be available for as little as £15 million.
