Sell him to United then keep him... cunning as a fox.
I like it.

We hate you so much because we loved you so much.
I don't care if we sell him - but I do hope we just sort it out quickly.
I don't want him sold to Utd though. It would be a final admission that we're no longer credible competitors to Utd (which might, in practice, be true, but I don't want it underlined).
Rather sell him abroad. If it is to another English club then I'd choose City as they're not a proper club and anything they 'achieve' is tainted.
We wont sell him to Man United. Wenger would walk out of principle if we did. Remember what he said about Nasri last season when United were keen on him.
If United pay up, we'll sell no doubt about it IMO.
Fergie after the Barcelona friendly:
Sir Alex Ferguson says he is persevering in his bid to sign Robin van Persie after losing out on Lucas Moura.
With PSG declaring they have won the race to sign Brazilian Lucas for a club record fee, speculation has been rife that the Reds are stepping up attempts to land the Arsenal captain. Although the Gunners would clearly prefer to sell to a club outside of the Barclays Premier League, the boss is hopeful a deal can be struck.
"I can't give you any more information," he said when asked about van Persie. "We have made a bid and they've been trying to negotiate with other clubs. We just have to persevere. Hopefully it will come our way. We're trying our best but there's no progress at this moment in time.
"I don't have a gut feeling on it at the moment, I must admit. We're not getting any breakthrough with Arsenal. It's difficult to say why they're operating this way. I don't know what their thoughts are because they're not giving anything away."
Regarding Lucas' sale from Sao Paulo, it is further evidence that the cash-laden Parisiens mean business in the transfer market.
"I find it quite amazing that a club can pay €45million for a 19-year-old boy," Sir Alex continued. "To make a mark on everyone - to tell everyone that PSG are here - they've signed Thiago Silva from Milan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
"They must have spent about £150m in the last month. As you know, the only deterrent to that is UEFA. In the conditions of European football, you don't qualify for Europe by winning the league or coming second - you only get in by invitation. That's where, hopefully, UEFA can have some power. When somebody's paying £45m for a 19-year-old boy you have to say the game's gone mad."
