Walcott swapped shirts with Van Persie in the tunnel to avoid the wrath of fans
Theo Walcott has avoided an Andre Santos-style backlash despite swapping shirts with Robin van Persie on Sunday.
The Gunners striker was seen giving a post-match interview wearing a United shirt after the 1-1 draw.
And the shirt belonged to his former Arsenal team-mate after the pair swapped shirts in the Emirates Stadium tunnel moments after the final whistle.
Santos was the subject of a furious backlash from supporters after making a beeline to Van Persie at half-time of the Gunners defeat at Old Trafford earlier in the season.
He made the approach in full view of TV cameras and Arsenal supporters.
