Cardiff midfielder Aaron Ramsey explained why he decided to move to London’s Arsenal at the time, even though he had an offer from Manchester United.
“Why Arsenal? I felt that Arsène Wenger really wanted to see me in the team. At that time, he had little time because the Euro 2008 was taking place, but they flew to me when he had a few free hours.
We had lunch together and discussed everything about his vision and his plans. He had a truly detailed plan, and the number of young players he brought into the team impressed me.
For example, Fabregas. So I really felt wanted at Arsenal,” Ramsey is quoted by talkSPORT.
