Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted their pursuit of Arsenal ace Robin van Persie has stalled.
Ferguson says Arsenal are digging their heels in as he tries to prise the Dutchman away from the Emirates.
"We have made a bid and they've been trying to negotiate with other clubs," said Ferguson. "I don't have a gut feeling on it at the moment, I must admit.
"We're not getting any breakthrough with Arsenal.
"It's difficult to say why they're operating this way.
"I don't know what their thoughts are because they're not giving anything away."
There had been rumours circulating prior to Wednesday night's game that Van Persie was heading to Manchester for a medical but that seems a fair distance away at the moment.
"I can't give you any more information," said Ferguson. "We just have to persevere.
"We are trying our best and hopefully it will come our way but there's no progress at this moment in time."
