Ferguson can't see Arsenal boss Wenger matching his record

Sir Alex Ferguson can't see Arsene Wenger breaking his 26 year record as Manchester United manager.

Wenger is in his 18th year with Arsenal.

In a new updated version of My Autobiography, Ferguson wrote: "The model I represented has passed into history. You won't see anyone manage one club for 26 years. I must say, though, that Arsene Wenger's reign at Arsenal deserves a special mention.

"Everyone was happy for him winning the FA Cup. I was hoping Steve Bruce would win it for Hull because he was one of my players; but you also had to have a special feeling for Arsene, given the pressure he was under for not winning a trophy for nine years.

"Who is to say that Arsene will not beat my record? I have my doubts, but he's having a good crack at it."
