Uganda Cranes and Ostersund’s Ronald Mukiibi has revealed how he wants to ask Arsene Wenger a few questions on how he selects his Arsenal line-ups ahead of their Europa League tie.
The two teams were drawn to face each other in the last 32 on Monday.
Mukiibi – an ardent Arsenal fan – has plans of talking to Wenger with intentions of discussing why the manager does certain things the way he does.
Arsenal are currently trailing Premier League leaders Manchester City by 17 points before the halfway point of the season and this is one of the main reasons the Ugandan wants to talk.
“I want to exchange a few words with Wenger and ask him why he sets his team up as he does. That would be fun,” Mukiibi told the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.
“I want to talk with him about why he makes certain decisions.”
Concerning a possible transfer to the London giants, Mukiibi says that will be on the table as well.
“Maybe we can talk about my own future during the conversation? If I have a good match then…,” he continued.
The Swedish minnows were still a month away from being formed when Arsene Wenger took over the Gunners in September 1996.
Under English boss Graham Potter Ostersunds who had spells as a player at Birmingham, West Bromwich Albion, Stoke, Southampton and York, Ostersunds have won three promotions since 2011, before qualifying for continental football by winning the domestic cup last season.
The Swedish club came through three qualifying rounds.
They finished second in Group J and have been rewarded with a clash with the 13-time English champions, a tie that will see Potter return home looking to write another piece of history.
