The Manchester United legend has issued a tribute towards the Gunners boss, who is set to leave the club at the end of the season
Sir Alex Ferguson has issued a classy tribute to Arsene Wenger after the Arsenal manager announced that he will leave the club at the end of the season.
The pair were bitter rivals throughout the early years of Wenger's reign at the club, and Ferguson has expressed his happiness at the Frenchman leaving the club on his own terms.
Indeed, the two traded barbs throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, as well as titles, with every Premier League trophy won between 1997-98 and 2003-04 either lifted by Arsenal or United.
Ferguson is outstripped by the Frenchman in terms of FA Cup victories; Wenger has won seven, while the Scot has five.
And the 76-year-old has waxed lyrical about one of his greatest rivals in the game.
