Aaron Ramsey has insisted that he has no regrets about choosing Arsenal over Manchester United five years ago.
The Wales international midfielder left Cardiff City for the Gunners in 2008 despite an interest from the Red Devils.
"I came from a rugby school and rugby nation, but I fancied giving football a go and luckily it paid off," he told The Mirror. "The main factor in joining Arsenal was meeting with Arsene Wenger and to hear what his plans where for me.
"He has brought through so many youngsters and given them opportunities and turned them into great players. They flew me over there to have a meeting with him. I was overwhelmed. I was 17 and one of the best managers in the world wants to meet me face to face.
"It was definitely a hard choice to make at my age, but I've no regrets, I think I made the right choice. I felt more wanted at Arsenal, I felt the plan was better for me and they gave youngsters more opportunities. Manchester United also had a lot of midfielders at the time as well."
Ramsey has featured in 27 Premier League matches for Arsenal so far this season.
