Van Persie explains lack of celebration

The Dutchman opened the scoring after two minutes as United beat his old team 2-1.

“I spent eight happy years at Arsenal and I have too much respect. I respect the manager, the fans, the whole club.”

“I enjoy playing with Wayne, we are similar in a way,” he said. “We can both play nine or 10, so you could say we are both nine and a half.”
