New York City FC coach Patrick Vieira has taken a fresh swipe at Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

Vieira, one of Arsenal's greatest ever players and captain of their legendary Invincible team, has begun his career at Major League Soccer side New York City FC, a part of the City Football Group that also owns Manchester City, the club where the French international ended his playing career.

“I'm not saying Arsene didn't give me the desire to manage. He might have done so without me realising but he never guided me, never showed me the way," Vieira told France Football.

“Maybe Arsene wanted his former players to do it on their own. I find that a bit of a shame because all those who left Arsenal and who are managers always got on well with him."

He added: “It's a bit sad to not see old players in Arsenal's staff and I'm not talking about the first team,"
