Despite the Dutchman contributing significantly to United winning the Premier League in his debut season, by finishing on 26 goals to earn the Golden Boot, Szczesny felt the striker, who now plays for Feyenoord in his native Holland, would have achieved more had he stayed with Arsenal.“He could have made other decisions and achieved lots more at Arsenal,” he told Foot Truck.“He’s extremely arrogant sometimes. “I have to admit, he left for Manchester United and the following year won a title.“However after that, he got benched, moved to Turkey and his big career ended.”The goalkeeper said Nasri thought he was a ‘gangster’2
