Arsene Wenger: Playing Man Utd strange without Ferguson

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says Sunday's trip to Manchester United will be "strange" without Sir Alex Ferguson.

The two were the longest-serving managers in the English game before Ferguson retired as United boss in May.

 

Arsenal could move 11 points clear of the Old Trafford club with a win but Wenger feels it is too soon to judge Ferguson's successor David Moyes.

"It will be a bit strange without Sir Alex Ferguson there on Sunday," he told the BBC.

"David Moyes has shown great competence at Everton, so you need to leave him time to really get a grip on Manchester United, and he is slowly doing that. You see it now in the results.

"When someone has been there for 26 years and goes, it takes time for the guy who comes in.

 

"It is very dangerous and difficult for the manager who comes in. For me, Moyes is dealing very well with the situation."
