STRIKER LIGHT ... Robin van Persie is wanted by Alex Ferguson
ALEX FERGUSON has blasted Arsenal over his attempts to sign Robin van Persie.
The United boss says the Gunners are keeping him in the dark after he made a bid for the Dutch striker.
Fergie said: “It’s difficult to know why they are operating in this way. We’ve been trying our best but there’s been no progress.
“You know we’ve made a bid but Arsenal have been trying to negotiate with other clubs.
"They are not giving anything away. I’ve not got a gut feeling about this one. We have not had any breakthrough.”
United have already made a £15million bid — but Arsenal are looking for more than £20m.
Sources close to Van Persie, who trained with Arsenal in Germany yesterday, say he wants to move to Old Trafford but Manchester City remain in the frame.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, who has never sold a player to Ferguson, would rather RVP went to Juventus.
Fergie’s frustration boiled over after United failed to score in last night’s friendly with Barcelona in Gothenburg.
