Don't get me wrong we are just as bad for selling him to them.

I'm sure Van Persie will share his treasured memories of being on remand in a police cell in Ansterdam for weeks as well.
But if he wanted to be part of a successful team & win trophies where do you expect him to go - Stoke! - Utd, Chelsea or City were the only options in England for him if he wanted to win things, so either way he would have joined a rival. Ofcourse we could have sold him abroad but apparently nobody wanted him for the money Utd would pay inc his salary. He won the Premier league the following year & had a great season for them. You can call him want you want but whilst we were arguing about another poxy 4th place finish & Wengers crap buys, he was parading the P.L. trophy around Manchester.
