Arsene Wenger 'wanted to hit' Sky Sports' Geoff Shreeves because of his 'brutal' questions asked in the wake of an 8-2 defeat to Manchester United in 2011.

Pressure was immense on Wenger following the humiliating loss at Old Trafford and Shreeves, in his role as touchline reporter for Sky Sports, took on the post-match interview in the tunnel.

Recounting the episode in his new book, Cheers, Geoff! Tales from the Touchline, which has been serialised by the Sun, Shreeves has revealed how his hard-hitting questions got under the skin of Wenger.
