Manchester United Red Devils Big Boss Sir Alex Ferguson blasts Arsenal Young Star Cesc Fabregas

And guess what, the Arsenal standout agrees with the Man-U boss.

As the top teams of the 2007-08 UEFA Champions League begin to separate themselves from the rest of the pack, Cesc Fabregas of Arsenal has been receiving all kinds of praises from the big names of the game.

Since the departure of Thierry Henry from Arsenal to Barcelona, Cesc Fabregas quickly became the man in the Arsene Wenger side. Fabregas had 11 goals for the Gunners in 15 games this season and is already at the forefront of Arsenal's foreign players.

STILL, despite the kind of season the youngster has been having, Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says that Fabregas and all these other young players cannot be considered great yet until they start winning trophies.

Fabregas agrees.

''Yeah, he's right,'' Cesc Fabregas said. ''I 100 percent agree with him. I can't say I'm a great player. And I always say at Arsenal we're a very, very good side but not a great side.''

''When we win something together as a group we can say we're great, but right now, we're just a good side.''

Arsenal is surprisingly on top of the 2007-08 English Premiere League season and seem to barely miss the effect of Thierry Henry's departure to Barcelona FC and the Spanish Premiere League.

Since Fabregas joined Arsenal in 2003, his most memorable achievement was when he won the FA Cup ironically against Sir Alex Ferguson and the rest of the Manchester United Red Devils back in 2005.

Fabregas knows that winning more trophies is the only thing to make him a better player.

''You've been successful when you've won trophies. When you've won European Championships, World Cups, Premier Leagues, Champions Leagues: then you can say you're a success,'' Fabregas said. ''Right now I can't say anything. I just have an FA Cup.''

Yep, he knows when's the right time to rub that in too.
