WENGER SAID; ARSENAL HAD NO CHOISE BUT TO SELL VAN PERSIE TO OLD TRAFFORD

Arsene Wenger claims he had no option but to accept Manchester United's bid for Robin Van Persie, with the striker in the final year of his contract.
Van Persie announced his intention to leave Arsenal last month after being disillusioned with future plans for the club, and Wenger told TF1 the club had “no choice” but to cash in or run the risk of losing the striker for nothing next summer.
"It's sad to lose a player of his quality. He had a year left on his contract so we didn't have the choice." he said.
