MIRACLE! Man Utd thrashing stunned Arsenal legend Wright into silence

Arsenal legend Ian Wright admits the humiliation at Manchester United stunned him into SILENCE!

In his column for The Sun, Wright wrote: "As the Manchester United and Arsenal team line-ups appeared on my TV, I remember laying on my sofa in shock and thinking, this could get very messy.

"I then sat in complete silence on Sunday afternoon and watched this humiliation unfold as my old team were ruthlessly exposed and slaughtered.

"Despite the inexperience of this Arsenal team, I hardly expected to witness the biggest embarrassment in the club's history. This was totally unacceptable.

"I have always been a massive admirer of Arsene Wenger and, in my eyes, the guy is still a legend for everything he has done at the club.

"But an 8-2 annihilation was the day everything came crashing down around the manager. The current philosophy - of only buying young players - is simply not working.

"Arsenal were always fine when they mixed top-class signings with young talent but those days have ended and now Wenger is paying the price for his strategy."
