SPOTTED! Van Persie and Vidic dine out in Dubai as Man Utd pair forget Arsenal draw
ROBIN VAN PERSIE banished thoughts of Manchester United's goalless draw with Arsenal by taking Nemanja Vidic out to lunch!
Van Persie posted a picture on Instagram with Vidic enjoying a spot of Asian cuisine after touching down in Dubai.
David Moyes' squad are in the United Arab Emirates for a warm-weather training break.
And Van Persie showed no signs of strain weighing on his mind following his late chance at the Emirates.
The Dutchman saw his goal-bound header cannon back of the bar after an acrobatic save from Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny.
Szczesny had also safely gathered an early effort from Van Persie after the striker had found himself one-on-one with the Polish shot-stopper.
But any Premier League worries looked far away for Van Persie and Vidic as they tucked into their lunch.
A selection of sushi is on the table as the Red Devils pair pose for the camera.
Van Persie wrote: "Enjoying good lunch with my bro Vida."
United are back in league action on Saturday 22 February, but will spend the coming days lapping up the Dubai sunshine.
