In an interview with MUTV this evening the boss has confirmed our interest in Arsenal’s star striker, Robin van Persie. He also hinted that Arsenal made the news public to push other clubs into making an offer for the Dutchman.
“Obviously Arsenal have given out the fact that we’ve made a bid for him,” He said. “We try to keep business as close as possible to us until the moment we conclude a deal. There’s no point talking about something that might not happen. There are other clubs interested in the player. We’ve shown an interest and that’s where we’re at at the moment.”
The other clubs widely rumoured to be interested in the 28-year old are Italian giants Juventus, alongside local rivals Manchester City. Given the fact that Arsenal have leaked our bid, you can understand why Fergie admitted a bid has been made, however I still feel that another striker is not what we need.
Yes, he’s a good player, but surely it’s too much of a gamble to take given our financial situation? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
