Man Utd boss backs Arsenal fans to recognise Robin van Persie's eight years

Sir Alex Ferguson is not anticipating a flashpoint between Robin van Persie and the visiting Arsenal supporters on Saturday.

Van Persie was on target for Arsenal on their forgettable last visit to Old Trafford in August last year, when they were hammered 8-2. Ferguson is certainly not expecting a repeat of that extraordinary scoreline, though, saying: "It won't happen tomorrow, that's for sure. "There is no point living in the past, we have just got to look forward to tomorrow. "It could be a way of motivating Arsenal, that is possible, but I think we have got to have the motivation to make sure we win the match."
