Sir Alex Ferguson lifts lid on dinners with Arsene Wenger and his ‘job’ during meetings

“They became a tough team to compete with, and we both wanted to win, which motivated us further.

“Through the years since retirement, we’d go for dinner together in a little restaurant he knows well in Switzerland.

“He is a really interesting man, and I enjoy his company, but it is still my job to pick the wine!”

Sir Alex, who won 528 of his 810 Premier League matches in charge of United, follows six of his former players into the Hall of Fame.

David Beckham, Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, Wayne Rooney, Peter Schmeichel and Paul Scholes were already present, and more Red Devils icons will undoubtedly follow.
