Shaun Wright-Phillips, son of Arsenal legend Ian Wright, reckons his old man allowed himself to get too carried away by the Gunners’ title challenge last season
Former Manchester City star Shaun Wright-Phillips isn’t so sure that next season’s title race will be another family affair.
Wright-Phillips, son of Arsenal legend Ian Wright, reckons his old man allowed himself to get too carried away by the Gunners’ failed bid to beat Pep Guardiola’s treble-winning Blues to the Premier League trophy last time out. And he insists it isn’t just another wind-up when he predicts that the biggest challenge to stop City from winning a fourth successive title might not emerge from the Emirates.
Wright-Phillips, 41, who now works as a club ambassador at the Etihad Stadium, dropped into a TV studio to show his dad the trophy when Arsenal’s draw at Nottingham Forest confirmed City as champions for a third successive season – and it was decked in blue and white ribbons.
“To be fair to my dad, he took it very gracefully,” recalled Wright-Phillips, who is helping to spread the City word in Japan and South Korea during City’s pre-season tour of East Asia.
