An Arsenal legend admitted it was a mistake to snub Manchester United after multiple calls from Sir Alex Ferguson.
“I spoke to Arsene. He really wanted me back, but I was honest with him: I said, 'I appreciate it and it's very tempting, but I didn't feel that you wanted me to stay when I signed for Barcelona a year ago'.Petit added that Ferguson had personally called him on two separate occasions in an attempt to entice the World Cup winner to switch the Camp Nou for Old Trafford.He explained: “I should have gone to Manchester United because Sir Alex Ferguson called me twice.
Both United and Arsenal would battle for Premier Leagues and lift multiple trophies in the years that followed, while Petit failed to add any medals to his tally before retiring in 2004.
