The Man United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has apparently decided to increase his bid for the Arsenal captain Robin Van Persie, according to the Manchester Evening News after recently moaning that Arsene Wenger was not being very co-operative after their original bid, which was reported to be 15million GBP.
According the News Ferguson has decided to increase his bid to 20million GBP, which is reputedly the amount that Wenger had asked from Juventus, but the Arsenal boss is also alleged to have made a minimum price of 25million if bids come in from rival Premiership sides.
It is believed that Man United is Van Persie’s preferred destination and Ferguson is hoping that the combination of RVP’s interest and the increased bid will persuade Wenger to sit down with United’s representatives to work out a deal. Also after Van Persie was booed by some of the travelling Arsenal fans during the friendly with Koln yesterday this mat also nudge the Dutchman towards the door.
Wenger himself gave nothing away when he said after the game: “There’s no news on van Persie. Our fans want him to stay so you can understand they are excited. Anything I could say about van Persie would be a lie because he’s our player and that’s it. We want to keep him. I cannot tell you more at the moment because I don’t know more.”
The other interesting bit about this particular article is that it was also reproduced in full on the official Man United website……..
