'Wenger can give Man Utd fresh start' - Merson calls for Frenchman's return

Rumours are abound that the Red Devils could sack their manager, with one ex-Prem star claiming the former Gunners boss could be right for the job

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger would steady the ship at Manchester United if Jose Mourinho is indeed sacked by the club, according to Paul Merson.

The Mirror reports that Mourinho will be dismissed this weekend, regardless of the outcome of the Premier League visit of Newcastle United on Saturday.

Wenger has been without a job since leaving Arsenal at the end of last season following nearly 22 years in north London, during which time he won 10 major honours.
