Former Arsenal star Francis Coquelin has surprisingly taken aim at Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Frenchman registered 160 appearances across 10 years with the Gunners before he departed for La Liga side Valencia back in January 2018. However, it was his first match in an Arsenal shirt that had caught the eye of Ferguson.
The former United boss wrote about Coquelin in his autobiography, with the tough-tackling midfielder making his debut for the north Londoners during their famous 8-2 defeat against United back in 2011. "Arsenal played a young boy in midfield; Francis Coquelin," Ferguson wrote.
