There are plenty of Arsenal fans on social media who are calling for Luis Enrique to replace Mikel Arteta as manager this summer after the team’s recent collapse.
The Gunners are on an awful run of just one win from their last six games in all competitions at the most important stage of the season, with Arteta’s side losing both the Carabao Cup final and last weekend’s crucial title race six-pointer against rivals Manchester City.
Arsenal are still in the Champions League semi-finals, but the style of play has attracted a lot of criticism and plenty of Gooners would rather see Enrique come in to introduce a more ambitious and expansive approach.
Of course, some fans are still waiting to see how the season pans out and will no doubt be looking into how to buy Arsenal vs Newcastle tickets to see if their side can bounce back with three points this weekend.
But there’s undoubtedly unrest among a large chunk of the fanbase now, with Enrique looking like the ideal candidate after the superb job he’s done at PSG.
Arsenal have been warned, however, not to be “crazy” with their expectations, as Rio Ferdinand feels Enrique wouldn’t go there.
The Manchester United legend feels that taking the job at Old Trafford would probably be more tempting for the Spanish tactician, whilst adding that Arteta arguably deserves more time anyway.
“I would be careful what you wish for if I was an Arsenal fan if you think getting rid of Arteta is the best thing you guys could do,” Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel.
“You have to remember where you guys were when he came.
“You guys are consistently qualifying for the Champions League, you weren’t before Arteta came. You’re finishing second most of the time, fighting for the Premier League year in, year out.
“You’ve got to get over the line, yes I know, but you think the grass is greener over there with another manager? Who is the other manager?”
When Enrique’s name came up, Ferdinand added: “He is not coming to Arsenal. He’s leaving the best team in the world to go to Arsenal – are you crazy?
“Every manager other than Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira or Cesc Fabregas would go to Man United over Arsenal.
“He (Fabregas) doesn’t guarantee you anything, he hasn’t won anything, as talented as he is.
“I’m just saying, it’s not like you go from Arteta and say, ‘We’ve got a certainty’. Pep’s your only certainty and he’s not going to Arsenal.”
