Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger revealed that he cannot believe Robin Van Persie left Manchester United.
Wenger admitted he was shocked when he found out the star striker had joined Fenerbahçe and stated that it was a loss for the Premier League to see him go.
“He has an exceptional technique. I don’t know what happened or why he leaves United but he’s a loss to the Premier League,” Wenger was quoted as saying in the Mirror.
Wenger was responsible for first bringing over Van Persie in 2004 from Dutch giants Feyenoord.
