'He is vulnerable': Robin van Persie admits he would BULLY David Luiz if he played against Arsenal defender now... as under-fire Brazilian returns to side for FA Cup quarter-final against Sheffield United

Robin van Persie has revealed his advice to Sheffield United's strikers facing David Luiz with the former Arsenal striker insisting he would 'bully' the Brazilian if he went up against him.

Luiz returned to the Arsenal side for their FA Cup quarter-final away to Sheffield United on Sunday and was immediately highlighted as the weak link following his disappointing form.

In the first game back following football's return, Luiz put in a nightmare performance and was sent off against Manchester City.

For Van Persie, he felt Luiz could have become a 'world class' player given his talent but has stalled and is now 'vulnerable' when up against elite strikers.
