Sir Alex Ferguson has not given up on his dream of forming a deadly combination by pairing Arsenal's Robin van Persie with Manchester United star Wayne Rooney.

His ultimate objective is to wrest the title from Manchester City but it would cause more misery for Arsenal and destroy their spirits forever.

Ironically, the Manchester United boss will be among the guests at the Labour Party Sports Dinner at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium.

Ominously, Fergie remains in the hunt for Van Persie after the Dutchman refused to extend his deal with the Gunners.

United’s rivals Manchester City are determined to step up their interest in last season’s double player of the year once they have finalised the £6 million sale of Emmanuel Adebayor to Spurs, according to The Sun.

Van Persie, however, is believed to be concerned about boss Roberto Mancini’s policy of rotating his strikers and possibly being a sub.

United do not want to be sucked into a tapping-up row like City and are reluctant to pay £30m for a 29-year-old.

Whatever he decides, Van Persie wants his future to be sorted out before Arsenal leave for their Asia tour, which kicks off with a match against a Malaysia XI on July 24.

The Gunners are due to face City in Beijing on July 27.

United fly out to South Africa on Monday at the start of their own pre-season schedule — which also includes a stop in Shanghai, China.

    Without Van Persie's goals Arsenal would have come 14th ...and for the record, Barca has a debt of 500 million ..nobody talks about them.

    You might want to do a little bit of research into Manu's financial situation and the amount of money they could possibly spend after buying This Japanese chap. It is not a case of reluctant to buy, it is a case of cannot buy. Also, destroying Arsenal's spirit for ever? Really? I predict both Arsenal and Spurs will end up above Manu next season.

    Lastly have you only been watching The Arsenal since the last season? Because you seem to have got the Impression that Van Persie was are all time greatest player. Bigger player's than him have left Arsenal and guess? What where still here!

    'His ultimate objective is to wrest the title from Manchester City but it would cause more misery for Arsenal and destroy their spirits forever' Strong word's Indeed. So Van Persie Is bigger than Arsenal after 1 brilliant season? I would like to know If you would have thought the same If Arsenal sold Van Persie when he was constantly Injured?
