Former Arsenal defender Andre Santos has no regrets swapping shirts with Robin van Persie when facing Manchester United during his time in England.

Santos is perhaps best remembered for swapping shirts with Robin van Persie at half-time in a clash at Old Trafford.

Manchester United had signed the Dutchman in the summer which greatly angered Arsenal fans, but Santos claims his actions were down to cultural differences and he shouldn't be held accountable.

He said: "I don't regret it because I never stopped being his friend.

"My culture is different from the English culture. I'm not obliged to be in the same culture as them."
