Love to see him back in Old Trafford again even if it is for the opponent.

How Van Persie's Man Utd career was ruined by Moyes

Moyes. 
Should never have sold him. Another player that we sold because we chose to keep Rooney instead. 20 goals a season minimum
What do Arsenal fans say about him saying he returned home?
He was such a beast in Fergie's last season. Phenomenal.

Any Arsenal fan I know disowned him as he only had one outstanding season there after all the injured onesWhat do Arsenal fans say about him saying he returned home?

Totally agree. He was unplayable the first year here.
So many great memories; the hat trick against Southampton, the goal against Arsenal, the free kick against City, the cup equalizer against west ham, when he almost died against Stoke, the volley against Villa,
Oh how I jumped and screamed for this one.
Zabaleta's reaction gets me everytime
.Actually cannot believe that comment from Moyes. I think that sums him up more than any other and that includes him saying Liverpool would be the favourites at Old Trafford and that we should aspire to be like City, because it just shows how completely lost he was in the role.
Worst decision I'm this club's history to hire that buffoon.How Van Persie's Man Utd career was ruined by Moyes
He doesn't have hard feelings because he is the one who wanted to leave.
I couldn't believe RvP played for us that season. Even on FIFA I rarely got to buy him with United. It seems like a dream, RvP donning our jersey (the 'tablecloth' jersey) and scoring goals for fun.

I was there that day. Got a fecking cold and missed the train home but well worth it!
2nd worst decision
Worst was LVG bought us a squad full of dross and played the worst football ever seen at OT
Keep having nightmares of him scoring a late winner against us today.
Hurts me to see him on other side...
Still don't understand why we sold him

One of LvG's craziest moments really.
Few do, but I suppose it was a philosophical process.
Goddamn, I love this man. He reminded me so much of my favorite United player, van Nistelrooy.
I miss him
Really?
I didn't realise it was a remotely controversial decision. He was poor in Moyes' season and looked barely arsed in the Van Gaal season (seriously go and have a look through his performance thread from that season). He was great for us under Ferguson and he'll have a spot in all of our hearts for that, but it was time for him I think. Rather that than watch his decline play out in full focus like it has with Rooney.
What reception did he receive? I missed the start of the game!
Haha, yeah, classic stuff.Zabaleta's reaction gets me everytime
Very good, name sung etc.
I miss him...loved him being a United player.
His dead ball delivery is still rather good.
He looks so old
great player for exhibition games, would take him instead of rooney for the last two years as an impact sub for 10-15 minutes of play, basically about time he can fully run until he loses all his stamina..
Cheers! Yeah seems to be getting his name sung every time he touches the ball.
Scores at Old Trafford one last time
Bastard!! Great player
Not many players get a round of applause and their name sung by United fans after scoring against us at OT
The night is complete after that goal. He deserved a proper send off.
Classy reactions allround
Legend.
I hated the way he left the club, the man will always have a special standing for me. He came to us as Arsenal captain and practically won us the title back from City. Absolute legend.
Brilliant couple of minutes, that. Good on him.
Brilliant end to the game that.
Have the club confirmed he left yet?
Legend!
