The former England goalkeeper enjoyed a successful 13-year spell at the north London club, winning three league titles and four FA Cups. Seaman was being pursued by United and Arsenal whilst at QPR in 1990, but his manager at the time, Don Howe, and former Hoops player Ray Wilkins convinced him to join George Graham’s side. The ex-Gunners No.1 told the Handbrake Off podcast: ‘It was Don [Howe] and Ray Wilkins actually, because I had spoken to Man United as well, they said that they were going to come in for me in the summer, but Arsenal had obviously put their money on the table.’ Read the latest updates: Coronavirus news live To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser thatsupports HTML5 video ‘So I’ve now got this choice of signing for Arsenal or Man United, Ray Wilkins said to me, ‘if you sign for Man United you won’t win trophies straight away but you will do later because they’re a massive club, but if you sign for Arsenal, you’ll win trophies straight away’, and that’s exactly how it turned out. ‘Then I spoke to Don, and Don said ‘just get yourself to the Arsenal lad’, so that was it.’ MORE: MANCHESTER UNITED FC Fred pinpoints the moment Manchester United's season turned aroundLouis van Gaal failed to sign £50m Ole Gunnar Solskjaer target on free transferManchester United set ambitious price for Paris-Saint Germain to sign Diogo DalotArsenal hero Lee Dixon admitted the squad were unsure when they signed Seaman to replace John Lukic, but the ex-England stopper’s ability was clear from the get-go. He said: ‘We were like ‘why do we need a new goalie, we’ve got John Lukic, he’s pretty good but he plays for QPR he can’t be that good’. ‘It literally took probably 20 minutes of the first training session and you go ‘oh that’s why we’ve got a new goalie’, his ability to keep the ball out of the net and also be calm at the same time was an absolute godsend.’ MORE: Fred credits coach Michael Carrick and Arsenal legend Gilberto Silva with helping revive Man Utd career MORE: Ian Wright reveals how Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira prepared for battles with Manchester United and rival Roy Keane Follow Metro Sport across our social channels, on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
