Arsenal fans think the club have dropped a hint about Ljungberg

Arsenal fans think the club may have hinted about who could replace Unai Emery at the Emirates.

The club took to Twitter to relive a famous goal from Freddie Ljungberg against Manchester United, which occurred on this day back in 2001.

Ljungberg is among the favourites to step into the role on an interim basis if Emery is sacked mid-season. After seeing the goal back, these Arsenal fans think the club are dropping hints about a imminent change in the dugout.

Twitter: @Arsenal @freddie Wrong Freddie tweet btw. Check your drafts must be there one saying he’s taken over Emery as a interim manager (@DammitArsenal)

Twitter: @Arsenal @freddie Tagging Freddie but not announcing that he’s taking over from Emery, this is some disgusting trolling. (@wrightsnake)

Twitter: @Arsenal @freddie This better be hinting at him getting the interim job immediately. (@NgoloCazorla)

Twitter: @Arsenal @freddie Hinting at Freddie becoming manager? (@jackb1248)

Twitter: @Arsenal @freddie A fitting day to appoint him as caretaker manager until the end of the season, then… (@cdavison_afc)

Twitter: @Arsenal @freddie ANNOUNCE FREDDIE INTERIM (@AFCDylan_)

Read Arsenal verdict

Ljungberg has been heavily linked with the role and it would be a move that makes sense for the club.

Already in and around the first-team set-up, he’s somebody who will be a familiar face to the players.

The Gunners would struggle to attract a top manager to the club halfway through the season, espically if they’re thinking of a more long-term appointment.

Holding off until the summer will naturally open up more possibilities for the club to pursue if they do go on to sack Emery.
