Emmanuel Eboue has declared war against Robin van Persie, with the former Arsenal star labelling his former captain a 'Dutch donkey'.
Van Persie joined Manchester United late last night, subject to a medical, for £24 million after the Gunners became resigned to losing their best player of last season, in a move that will have angered fans across north London and beyond.
And while van Persie's Arsenal teammates, and Arsene Wenger himself, have admitted that life will be tough without the prolific goalscorer, Eboue has taken to Twitter to show his ill feelings for the man he played alongside for six years.
"I declare a state of WAR against [van Persie]. No retreat , No surrender," he wrote. "No respect , No loyalty for a dutch donkey . Am sorry I have no respect for a captain that ducked a stable ship.
"Boss(Wenger) has done it again, sell a finished player for so much price. The great economist. [van Persie] wud never be d same.
What a legend
