Van Persie, 29, scored the opener the last time the two sides met in United's 2-1 victory in November.I don't bother about it, and I don't think Robin should bother about it either," he said. "That is the modern generation I am afraid. We have no room to drop points," Wenger said. "This is another vital game for us to get the points we want.Van Persie is a massive talent, a world-class player who has fantastic technique and a lot of experience," Wenger said.For Arsenal to have one of their players go to their biggest rivals of the last 20 years doesn't sit well with their fans, nor Arsene for that matter. In addition to 2002, United gave Arsenal a guard of honour at Highbury in 1991, and honoured champions Chelsea at Old Trafford in 2005. Jose Mourinho's Chelsea returned the gesture two years later.You always miss a big player. It took us a while because our game went a lot through him but if you look at the number of goals we have scored, it's similar to last season.With four games remaining, Arsenal are in a three-way race for the Champions League spots given to the top-four teams, alongside Tottenham and Chelsea. Wenger said he wanted Van Persie "to be respected", while Ferguson said he expected some booing of the striker.
