‘Aubameyang will think more about Alexis than Van Persie’ – Exit possible but Man Utd move unlikely, says Nicholas

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is unlikely to leave Arsenal for Manchester United, says Charlie Nicholas, with Alexis Sanchez’s struggles countering the success enjoyed by Robin van Persie when making a similar move.

Back in 2012, a prolific Dutch striker took the decision to swap the red of north London for that in the north west, while Chile international Sanchez made the same career call in January 2018 as his contract with the Gunners ran down.

Aubameyang is now in a similar boat, with no extension agreed to terms set to run through to 2021.
