Emmanuel Petit has claimed that he feels as if it was an error first of all moving to Barcelona, and then not moving to Manchester United over Chelsea.

The midfielder played over 100 games for Arsenal before leaving and only playing for 33 for Barcelona. However, now, the 44-year-old wishes his career had played out a little differently and he’d made other choices.

“Each time I took a personal decision instead of a professional one, it was an error,” he admitted. “That had already happed when I moved from Arsenal to Barcelona.

“Manchester United had noticed the state I was in during my first few months at Barcelona. I’d really appreciated Sir Alex Ferguson’s approach. If I’d made a decision based on my career, I would have gone to Manchester United.

“But once again, I privileged a private choice over a sporting choice. I regret it.”

The moral of this story? Don’t leave Arsenal. It’s as simple as that.
