Former Netherlands striker, Robin van Persie, has admitted that the “door is closed” on a possible return to Arsenal.
According to the 41-year-old, Gooners are “still sensitive” about his transfer to Manchester United.
Van Persie played for Arsenal between 2004 and 2012, before swapping the Emirates for Old Trafford.
The Dutchman retired as a footballer in 2019 and landed his first managerial job this year, becoming head coach of Heerenveen.
Naturally, attentions have turned to which clubs Van Persie may wish to manage in the future.
When asked if there was a chance he could ever work at Arsenal, Van Persie said: “I don’t expect to work at Arsenal. I think that door is closed.
“Because of my switch to Manchester United, that is my assessment. You never know in football, but that is my assessment.
“It is still sensitive for them, not for me. It is especially sensitive for the Arsenal fans.”
