Ferguson: Arsenal's Invincibles above anything I did with Man Utd

Former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says Arsenal's Invincibles outstripped anything he achieved over his managerial career.

Ferguson made the claim when paying tribute to Arsene Wenger in a documentary about the former Arsenal manager.

In 2003-04 Arsenal did what no team in the top-flight had done since Preston in 1888-89 – survive an entire league season without losing.

Ferguson said: “The achievements stand above everything else."

Elsewhere in the newly-released two-minute trailer for “Arsene Wenger – Invincible", Ferguson is seen reflecting on the heated rivalry that took centre stage throughout the late 1990s and 2000s.

The Scot said: “I'm saying to myself: 'Is he looking for a war?'"
