Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says his team will hold a guard of honour for Manchester United's players before Sunday's match at Emirates Stadium.
The match is the first United have played since sealing their 20th league title with a 3-0 victory over Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Monday.
"Van Persie is a massive talent, a world-class player who has fantastic technique and a lot of experience," Wenger said.
"You always miss a big player. It took us a while because our game went a lot through him but if you look at the number of goals we have scored, it's similar to last season."
With four games remaining, Arsenal are in a three-way race for the Champions League spots given to the top-four teams, alongside Tottenham and Chelsea.
The fact that he moved there last season just adds spice to the story but is not a factor in the decision to do it. - In fact to not do it just because of this would be extremely petulant and only made AFC look foolish.
Media making drama out of nothing. This shouldnt be a top story. Its tradition, simples. I hope fans don't react too badly to RVP when he returns. I wasn't happy when he left but I do think the positive thing to come out of it was the money and that we have lots of goal scorers instead of relying on just one. Those who turn their backs are just showing pure bitterness. The situation is what it is.
lol... gooners using words like respect.... this is standard procedure... the fact that Wenger (your manager or Cities? or partime Utd ??) sells your best player who then returns for the Guard is just karma...Arsenal fans love to think they are the Angels of the League, when in fact you are merely a feeder club...
The years of competing with Fergie seems to have taken its toll on Wenger, he is now a shadow of his former self and Arsenal have gone from title challengers to scrambling around like headless chickens for 4th place.
