Rangers missed Van Persie in 2002 25.11.2014

Manchester United star Robin van Persie has revealed that 12 years ago was a step from the transfer in Glasgow Rangers vs 3 million pounds.

The Dutchman seriously contemplated the possibility to pass the "Ibrox" from Feyenoord to join his compatriot Dick Advocaat, who at that time managed to sell one of his players to find money for the transfer.

But everything fails when Arsene Wenger and Arsenal intervene and eventually stowed the talent. "I was still playing for Feyenoord and wanted to go to Rangers. I talked to Dick and he was intrigued. I was ready to go, but first they had to sell one of their players before they can buy me, "said Van Persie.

He added that the Advocaat would not reveal from whom he tried to get rid of, while the attacker was willing to wait.
