Van Persie, Arsenal meet

Manchester United could be in for another hostile match — after two bad tempered outings against Chelsea — with striker Robin van Persie potentially facing abuse from Arsenal fans on Saturday when he faces the London club for the first time since leaving in August.

The Netherlands international, who spent eight years at Arsenal, has already scored nine times in 12 appearances for United. "It has been very satisfying for us. It has been a fantastic start and hopefully he keeps it going," Man U manager said.

But Arsenal manager has appealed to the fans to keep calm. "I hope it (reception) is a respectful one because he has played for us for eight years, and he has done very well for us."
