In 1987, Viv Anderson is the last Arsenal FC player to move to Manchester United before Robin van Persie did in August 2012.  

Anderson was the first ever signing of Sir Alex Ferguson as he consolidate on his new post at Old Trafford in a bitter £250,000 deal which the Gunners bemoaned the deal as then manager George Graham had no obvious replacement for the defender.
