Aaron Ramsey has spoken of choosing Arsenal over Manchester United when leaving Cardiff City as a teenager.

Ramsey, who supported United growing up, has admitted he had no hesitation over his decision to sign for the Gunners after meeting manager Arsene Wenger.

"I had to make a decision at the time [of signing for the club]," he told the club's official website.

“I flew over to see the boss and I knew straight away that this was where I wanted to be, I wanted to be in his plans and I was just buzzing.

“I think I am a bit louder now than I was then!" he added. “You understand how things go on and off the pitch a bit better.

“It only seems like the other day that I was signing for Arsenal, but there has been eight years in between - so it goes before you notice really."
