26 April 2013 Last updated at 09:52 GMT System boss Arsene Wenger says his group may hold a guard of honor for Manchester United's players before Sunday's match at Emirates Stadium. The fit is the first United have performed since closing their 20th league title with a victory over Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Monday.

"Van Persie is really a talent, a player who has excellent technique and lots of experience," Wenger said. A big player is always missed by "you. It took a while to us since our sport went a whole lot through him but if you look at the quantity of objectives we have won, it is just like last season." With four games remaining, Arsenal have been in a race for the Champions League locations directed at the top-four teams, alongside Tottenham and Chelsea. System are third with 63 factors, two in front of Tottenham, who have a game in hand, in fifth. "We don't have any room to drop points," Wenger said. "This is yet another important sport for all of us to obtain the items we would like. 'We are on a very strong run. We need total concentration, responsibility and desire to reach what we want."

The fact he moved there last season only adds spice to the story but is not an issue in your choice to complete it. - Actually never to take action simply because with this would be exceptionally petulant and just made AFC look silly. But was there really any tip this would maybe not be done? Statement this comment (Comment number 72) Link to this (Comment number 72) Media making drama out of nothing. This shouldnt be a top story. Its tradition, simples. I really hope supporters do not react too poorly to RVP when he returns. I was not happy when he left but I do think the good point in the future out of it had been the money and that individuals have lots of target scorers in place of counting on only one. Those that turn their backs are only showing pure resentment. The problem is what it's.

This really is common procedure... the fact that Wenger (your manager or Cities? or partime Utd??) sells your very best player who then returns for the Guard is just karma...Arsenal fans like to think they're the Angels of the League, when in reality you're simply a feeder club... #8yrs and counting.. Report this remark (Comment number 70) Link to this (Comment number 70) This shows how far Arsenal have fallen. A decade before it would have been impossible to allow them to have bought their finest player to their most bitter opponents. The years of competing with Fergie generally seems to have taken its toll on Wenger, he's now a of his former self and Arsenal have gone from subject competitors to scrambling around like headless chickens for 4th position.
