Arsene Wenger has called on Arsenal's
away support to respect Robin van
Persie at Manchester United on
Saturday.
This weekend's game, marks the first meeting
between United's £24m striker and the
club he captained until his summer
departure.
And Wenger hopes there will be no
repeat of the anti-Van Persie songs
heard intermittently at Arsenal's
previous away games this season.
He said: "I hope it is a respectful
reception because he has played for us
for eight years, he has done very well
for us. You want him to be respected.
"We campaign against discrimination, it
was still the case last week so why
should it not be the case this week?
"I don't know what the fans will do, I
think he will get the reception I hope
for."
