Mikel Arteta dismisses Thierry Henry's criticism that his Arsenal side might not be heading in the 'right direction' with defiant Gunners boss insisting 'it's just another opinion'

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has played down Thierry Henry's criticism that the club might not be heading in the 'right direction' under him.

The club legend, who notched 228 goals in 376 appearances for the north London side, expressed doubt over the current situation at the Gunners earlier this week.

'I don't know if things are going in the right direction,' he said at Prime Video Presents Sport 2021 event.
