"However, it’s not just about me as a person. It’s about the job at Manchester United and the bond we had over many years, so I’m also proud for the club, the staff and my players.
“My job was to send the fans home happy. United’s history and my own expectations were the things that drove me, and I then had to try to develop all my players with the same expectations and make sure we could go out and achieve them.
Wenger also spoke about his induction on Arsenal's website.
“I am very grateful to have been selected for the Premier League Hall of Fame,” he said. “We always wanted to give something special to the supporters and when you have players capable of remarkable things, the most important thing for me is the obligation of perfection.
