Robin van Persie is reportedly considering a move to Manchester; and with Sir Alex Ferguson being immensely keen on last season’s Premier League top scorer and Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini naming Van Persie his No 1 target this summer, this has only caused speculation to rise.

Arsenal’s number 10, who is out of contract next season, is set to make a decision about his future following the Netherlands’ exit from Euro 2012.

Gunner’s boss Arsene Wenger remains confident that he can keep hold of the Dutch striker though, “I am certain Robin will remain with us,” he said.
