Wenger the right man, insists Ramsey

-

ARSENAL midfielder Aaron Ramsey is adamant Arsene Wenger is still the right man to lead the club and believes the Frenchman should not be perturbed by criticism from the club’s secondlarg­est shareholde­r Alisher Usmanov. Russian billionair­e Usmanov has voiced his concerns over Arsenal’s worst start to a Premier League season after four wins from 12 matches has left them eighth in the table. Usmanov has also urged Wenger, who has been at Arsenal for 18 years, to learn from his mistakes if the north London club are to compete at the highest level of European football. But Wales midfielder Ramsey, who ended Arsenal’s run of nine years without a trophy by scoring an extra-time winner against Hull City in the FA Cup final in May, is confident the club can build on last season’s success as long as Wenger is in charge.
