Mikel Arteta snub opens the door for Sir Alex Ferguson's favourite Arsenal star to leave

Former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has made no secret of his admiration for Kieran Tierney, but the Arsenal defender could be in line for a summer exit after a difficult season in north London.

Scotland defender Tierney was one of Unai Emery's final signings as Arsenal manager, joining in a £25million move from Celtic in 2019. The 25-year-old has racked up more than 100 appearances in Gunners colours, but his opportunities have been limited since the summer arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Tierney was linked with a move away last summer, with Manchester City among those reportedly in the mix. A run of games outside the starting line-up has seen rumours gather pace once more, and Mikel Arteta could find himself letting the former Bhoys star move on.
