Evra: Van Persie amazed by difference between Man Utd and Arsenal players

Manchester United hero Patrice Evra has recalled how Robin van Persie was amazed by the difference in culture when arriving from Arsenal in 2012.

Evra has claimed Van Persie noticed one major issue holding the Gunners back straight away.

Speaking about Van Persie's first impressions of United, Evra told the Vibe with Five YouTube channel: "Robin, he'd say: 'Patrice, I've never seen people so professional. Training the way you're training in the training session'.

"He'd say he'd finish the training session, everyone is in the gym. Before training in the gym, after training in the gym.

"That's why he was like 'when I was playing at Arsenal, I was still on the pitch and I'd see kids with convertible cars already going to Harrods or whatever'."
