The French club's billionaire owner "dreams" of coming up against the Red Devils in Europe, under a coach that he hasn't always been a fan of
Nice owner and Manchester United supporter Jim Ratcliffe has revealed that he "hated" Patrick Vieira while he was at the peak of his powers as an Arsenal player.
Vieira enjoyed a hugely successful spell with the Gunners between 1996 and 2005, winning three Premier League titles and three FA Cups.
He is widely considered to be one of the finest foreign players to ever grace English football - a reputation underlined by the fact Arsenal have been unable to find an adequate replacement in midfield since his departure.
