We’ve hit a van Persie impasse, says Ferguson

Alex Ferguson has revealed Manchester United have hit a brick wall in their attempts to sign Robin van Persie from Arsenal.

Ferguson revealed on United’s recent tour of South Africa they had made a bid for last season’s Premier League Golden Boot winner.

The interest shown by the Red Devils seems to have fended off competition from Manchester City and Juventus but Arsene Wenger has never sold a player to United and doesn’t seem keen on starting to now.
