Evra says Van Persie made right decision to quit Arsenal
London:
Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has said that star striker
Robin van Persie was right to leave Arsenal, adding that it has been
proved by his club`s Premier League title triumph.The Dutchman, who infuriated Arsenal fans by quitting their team to join rivals United in a 24 million-pound transfer last year, played a key role in United regaining the English title with his goals.
Winning the title more than justifies Van Persie`s decision to quit a club which has gone eight years without a trophy, Evra said in an interview.
Evra further said that he cannot understand why he has been subjected to abuse from Arsenal`s fans, adding that they have forgotten the Dutch player`s contributions for Arsenal.
Although Van Persie was subjected to abuse from Arsenal supporters on his first return to the Emirates Stadium for Sunday`s 1-1 draw with the Gunners, he showed respect for Arsenal by opting not to celebrate his penalty equalizer despite the hostile reception. ------------------ ZEENEWS.com
