With the former Arsenal manager currently out of work, some Manchester
United supporters believe he is right man to replace Ole Gunnar
Solskjaer
Sir Alex Ferguson paid tribute to Arsene Wenger after the former Arsenal manager was honoured at a charity dinner night.
The
former Manchester United manager praised his old adversary on Monday
night as Wenger was named a 'Legend of Football' at the annual Nordoff
Robbins award night.
Wenger
enjoyed a fierce rivalry with Ferguson for two decades, with Arsenal
and United often going toe-to-toe for honours in England's top-flight.
Although
the pair clashed in the past, Ferguson, who himself has been a past
recipient of the 'Legends of Football' award, opened up on how he
enjoyed the competition provided by the 69-year-old.
He said: "The career you had as a manager at Arsenal was absolutely fantastic - an absolute legend.
"I loved the competition against you. We had some great times and it's wonderful you're getting this award tonight.
On social media, United fans responded to Ferguson's comments with many
agreeing with their former manager, and some believing that Wenger could
be the perfect candidate to replace the under-pressure Ole Gunnar
Solskjaer.
United's 1-0 defeat to Newcastle on Sunday was the latest in a series of poor results and performances, and Solskjaer is reportedly already fighting to save his job.
The
Old Trafford side face Liverpool after the international break, and a
heavy defeat could spell the end of the Norwegian's spell at United.
And some fans took to Twitter to urge club chief Ed Woodward to hire Wenger to turn their season around.
