‘I strongly believe’… Wayne Rooney has just made claim about Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola
Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney believes ‘a lot’ of Mikel Arteta’s current success at Arsenal is down to his years working alongside Pep Guardiola.
Mikel Arteta has made quite the impact at Arsenal after struggling to turn them into a consistent side ꦦduring the early stages of 🍎his tenure.
Afteꦡr back-to-back eight-placed finishes in his first two seasons, as well as a surprise FA Cup win, Arteta now has the Gunners competing fo♕r major honours.
Despite falling short in the race for the Premier League title last term, Arsenal are right in the mix once again this season and remain in the Champions League.
And Wayne Rooney believes Arteta has benefitted from working alongside one of the greats Pep Guardiola.
Rooney makes fresh claim about Arteta and Guardiola
Of course, Arteta worked as Guardiola’s assistant at Manchester City for three an🐻d a half years before landing the Arsenal job in Decemb𒐪er 2019.
Rooney was asked whether or not he would consider an assist🍰ant manager’s role after his latest spell at Birmingham City didn’t exactly go to plan.
“It depends,” he told . “🎶Listen if Pep Guardiola comes up and offers me the assistant!
“You see what Arteta is doing now an🔜d I strongly believe a lot oཧf that is from learning from what Guardiola is doing.”
There’s n🐼o denying that Arteta has benefitted from working alongside one of the greatest manage🌳rs of all time.
But the Arsenal boss is now competing with his old mentor and ෴has gone his own way in north London.
While there are ♚similarities between the two, Arteta has stamped his own mౠark on this Arsenal side and their style differs massively from that of City’s.
Arteta will certainly be hoping to get one over Guardiola this term after City beat the Gunners to the tit♕le last season.
The two sides are l🌸evel on points at the moment, with Liverpool leading the way by a single point.
