"?Former Arsenal centre-back Martin Keown has shockingly claimed that Arsene Wenger has the fight inside him to manage the Gunners for another ten years.
Keown believes that the Frenchman might wish to surpass Sir Alex Ferguson's 810-game record and 26-year reign as manager of Manchester United. Wenger has been at Arsenal for 20 years, with a 758-game run.

"He probably looks at Sir Alex Ferguson's 26-years at Manchester United and thinks he might beat that," he told the "?Daily Mail.
"Ferguson managed in 810 Premier League games and Wenger is on 758, so he could beat that. Football every day is his life. He is in the middle of a fight and he will fight for another 10 years if he can."
Arsene Wenger has seen Arsenal win three Premier League titles since he took over in 1996. However, Ferguson outstripped his achievements with thirteen Premier League titles and thirty-eight overall before departing his role as manager in 2013.
Ferguson, who joined United in 1986, is regarded as one of the best football managers of all time. Wenger is also held in high esteem, and many expect him to renew his Arsenal contract, which expires in the summer.

If Wenger was to fulfil Martin Keown's predictions, the French manager would be 76-years-old by the time he waved goodbye to the Emirates. He would also be extremely unlikely to ever step into the England role which he has been quoted to have been interested in taking up "one day".
Arsenal travel to Burnley's Turf Moor on Sunday, as they continue pushing towards what would be Wenger's fourth Premier League title.
