Premier League: We want to be kings of everything, says Arteta as Arsenal strive to be best in the world
Arsenal displayed their set piece prowess during their 2-0 win over Manchester United on Thursday.
Legendary former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has left a heart-touching message for his former arch-rival and former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.
Notably, Wenger was given the ‘Legend of Football’ honour at the annual Nordoff Robbins Legends of Football charity night. It was Sir Alex who was chosen to pay tribute to his old rival and he did so through a video stating that Wenger is ‘an absolute legend’. He also apologised to Wenger for missing out on the event and not being there on the occasion.
