Man Utd continues van Persie chase

10 August 2012-AP

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson says Arsenal is playing hardball over the sale of star striker Robin van Persie but he remains hopeful of luring him to Old Trafford.

Ferguson says Arsenal is negotiating with other clubs about van Persie, with a perceived preference of selling to a non-English club but he says "we just have to persevere, hopefully it will come our way".

He added "We're not getting any breakthrough with Arsenal. It's difficult to say why they're operating this way."

United has lost out in its bid to sign Brazilian Lucas Moura, who is bound for big-spending Paris Saint Germain.

Ferguson says the reported transfer fee of $53 million for a 19 year old shows "the game's gone mad".
