Ex-Arsenal boss Wenger slams social media: Screaming extreme minority

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger can see social media making team selection changes.

He believes a club in the future will use Twitter in the future when he insisted a manager's “Intuition" should always be used.

Wenger, in an interview with beIN Sports, said: “I've said many times, you could imagine the next chairman who says that the social networks can make a change in the second half.

"That will become more and more entrenched. It will happen. I personally, would not accept it. I'm from the old school in that respect. But we're going in that direction.

“If you imagine the power of social networks. What is even worse, it's not the majority, the minority is the most extreme, it's a bit like the problem with democracy, it's a dictatorship of the minorities.

“It's not for me, there's something I call intuition, I grew up and used my own eyes. You can as well imagine that in 20 years, a robot will sit in front of you."
