10 Greatest Tributes To Arsene Wenger 

#3 Sir Alex Ferguson

AW and SAF

Arguably the greatest rivalry of the new millennium is the one between two of the greatest managers in the history of the game.

Both Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson have fought tooth and nail for two decades and thus provided the world with some of the finest football and clashes in the English game. Luckily though, the animosity between the two has receded in recent times ever since the Scot left Old Trafford.

Ferguson showed his class once again by openly celebrating Wenger's career and acknowledging his contribution to the game:

“I have great respect for him and for the job he has done at Arsenal. It is great testament to his talent, professionalism and determination that he has been able to dedicate 22 years of his life to a job that he loves.In an era where football managers sometimes only last one or two seasons, it shows what an achievement it is to serve that length of time at a club the size of Arsenal. I am pleased that he has announced he is leaving at this stage of the season, as he can now have the send-off that he truly deserves. He is, without doubt, one of the greatest Premier League managers and I am proud to have been a rival, a colleague and a friend to such a great man.”
