Twitter Thread Showing Mikel Arteta's Impact On Manchester City Has Gone Viral

Mikel Arteta's importance to Manchester City has gone viral in a Twitter thread after it emerged he is favourite to become Arsenal manager.

The former Gunners midfielder has worked as an assistant under Pep Guardiola since his retirement in 2016.

With it looking increasingly likely that he's set to take over at the Emirates Stadium, a Twitter thread showing his coaching qualities has gone viral.

Current City players also give the Spaniard great credit for their improvements since moving to the Etihad.

Other parts of the thread also discuss the praise he has received from former boss Arsene Wenger as well as Guardiola himself.

The 37-year-old was earmarked to replace Wenger in 2018 until Unai Emery was appointed seemingly out of the blue.

After spending the last few years honing his craft under the world's best, it'd be interesting to see how he would manage his former side.
