Arsene Wenger, trying to figure out how to develop his youngsters to fulfill their potential like the Manchester United Class of 1995, decided to take ask Sir Alex Ferguson if he could have a chat about such matters. Friends in the light of the events of recent years, Ferguson agreed, and Wenger met him at Carrington training ground the next day, and asked “Sir Alex, how do you do it?”
 
Sir Alex, being a wily old fox, said “Well, it’s simple. I just ask them questions to keep their brains sharp. For example…” and at that very moment, Wayne Rooney passed them by. “Wayne!” Sir Alex barked “He is not your brother, but he is your father’s son. Who is he?” and Wayne instantly replied “Well, that’s easy boss, it’s me!”
 
Impressed, Wenger went to train his Arsenal squad the next day and, upon arrival, spotted captain Cesc Fabregas. “Cesc! He is not your brother, but he is your father’s son. Who is he?” asked Wenger and, completely confused, Fabregas stuttered “I… I don’t know boss… can I give you an answer tommorow?” which Wenger agreed would be satisfactory.
 
Fabregas sat up in bed late that night, pondering the question but getting nowhere. Finally, he decided to phone up his good friend Thierry Henry in Barcelona. “Thierry, I need some help - he is not your brother, but he is your father’s son. Who is he?” to which Henry replied “Simple, it’s me!”
 
So, the next morning, Fabregas headed straight away for Wenger’s office. “I have an answer for you boss,” he said confidently. So when Wenger asked “He is not your brother, but he is your father’s son. Who is he?” Fabregas proudly puffed out his chest before replying. “That’s easy boss, it’s Thierry Henry!”
 
Wenger, furious, replied “No it isn’t you idiot, it’s Wayne Rooney!”

    I heard that one years ago with different managers/players. Also the questions supposed to be “Brothers and sisters, have I none, but that man’s father is my father’s son”.

    What a pathetic adaptation.. Especially if one looks at how Manchester United’s youngsters are ‘developing’!!
