Arsene Wenger has paid a glowing tribute to Manchester United rival Sir Alex Ferguson.
A statue of Ferguson was unveiled
earlier today.
Wenger said: "I don't remember
anybody else being at the top level for such a long time.
"In some ways it is scary
because when this guy leaves the club, no matter the quality of who comes in
after him, it will be a huge hole.
"The club will be destabilised
even if the guy who comes after him is top quality because the print of
everything, the life of everything, revolves around Ferguson so much at Manchester United.
"He has to be immortal so the
club doesn't suffer! His commitment is always there, you never feel it is
weakened.
"What I admire maybe the most
in him is his forward-thinking. He is always ready to move with the times and
never speaks about what he has done before.
"He knows when to renew the
team, when you have to make changes, and that is exceptional because you can
sometimes be a little bit lazy when you have so much success.
"He's never been like that,
he's always on his toes and he can renew what is needed, when it is needed.
"It is a job where you need to
dedicate your life to football and Ferguson has done that and that deserves
massive respect.
"He has won absolutely
everything and, of course, that is something exceptional."
