Robin van Persie sparked an intense transfer saga when he decided to leave Arsenal. He sparked an even greater outrage when he decided to switch allegiance to Manchester United – Arsenal’s greatest rivals for Premier League glory.

The Dutchman was 29 when he moved to Old Trafford, fetching a ÂŁ22m price. However, if anyone had expected Arsenal to be the winners in the deal given that he was approaching his 30s, it was exactly the opposite.

Robin van Persie helped Manchester United win their record 20th title in 2013, sadly the latest they have won till date. In doing so, he also clinched the only Premier League medal of his career.
