Arsenal's majority shareholder Stan Kroenke has offered his full backing to club manager Arsene Wenger, despite a poor start to the season.

"I have tremendous confidence in [Arsene]," Kroenke told the Daily Telegraph. "He is one of the great managers in the world. Arsene is one of my favourite people I have met in the last 20 years.

"He is a great person and I love the way he handles himself. He is a very intelligent guy.

"Maybe it is one of those times when we have to work our way through, maybe with some young players. Arsene has been really good at developing these guys, people like Alex [Oxlade-]Chamberlain and Jack Wilshere. There are some really good players that Arsene thinks can be special. Arsene's our man."
