Manchester United fans refuse to let club forget their major Robin van Persie oversight

Robin van Persie only got three seasons at Old Trafford but they were three good seasons.

He was bought to deliver Alex Ferguson his last Premier League title and 26 goals in 38 games helped out with that cause just a tad. For those memories and for that reliable service, however brief, he'll always be remembered fondly in Manchester. https://twitter.com/ManUtdVines/status/789218881185406977?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw There's just one slight hiccup in the relationship between the Dutch master and his old club. They never bloody said goodbye to him. Nowhere on the social media records - not on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram nor even manutd.com - have the Red Devils ever marked van Persie's time at Old Trafford or even tried to say thanks or farewell when he was moving to Fenerbahce. The striker might as well have left like a ghost from the Louis van Gaal ship and not once was his departure ever officially confirmed by the club. That angered people. You don't sweep someone like Robin van Persie beneath the carpet so, consistently, the club have been reminded that they never said goodbye to a man some fans call a legend. So the news that he is actually gone is a surprise to a lot of them. https://twitter.com/Keith_Russell/status/788717635844337664 https://twitter.com/asammufc/status/788703960689414144 https://twitter.com/Utdmariam/status/788703857811611648 An explanation? https://twitter.com/MR_LAMIDE/status/784230957821923328 Too little, too late. https://twitter.com/MindThe_Agapism/status/789178845425393664 By the time that Thursday rolled around, there was too much water under the bridge to pretend like the club's social media account didn't neglect a hero of the Stretford End and neglect Twitter users who are partial to an announcement. https://twitter.com/OllRiley_/status/789024719441887232 Where was this respect when he left? https://twitter.com/thedevilstweets/status/789210494716547072 https://twitter.com/faisal8070/status/788706794700955648 Say hello but not goodbye? https://twitter.com/ElliottUnited/status/789209132373045248 What did we miss? https://twitter.com/MajesticMicki/status/789209195627311104 Of course, it snowballed. In the latest GAA Hour, we talk to Ken McGrath of Waterford and with Declan Brennan about a new club players' association.
