Manchester United’s Dutch striker Robin van Persie celebrates scoring his team’s first goal against Aston Villa on April 22, 2013. He returns to former club Arsenal on Sunday, fresh from United winning the Premier League.
Arsene Wenger insists he has no problem asking his Arsenal players to form a guard of honour for Manchester United, but the Gunners boss is determined to send the newly crowned champions home empty handed as the race for the top four heats up.
