Wenger has no regrets over rejecting Manchester United

Wenger, in turn, seems happy to bury the axe for now, although he wasn’t ready to talk about a friendship when asked about Mourinho’s comments.

The 68-year-old announced last week he will step down in the summer after over 21 years in charge, Sanchez labelling Wenger a “football master” as he paid tribute to his lengthy tenure.

Arsene Wenger believes his side’s 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid in the Europa League semi-final first leg is the “worst possible result”. “When I go back, I realize what a great team they were”, Arsenal boss said. “You should leave me a little bit of peace for my final weeks, and not try to push me into a final confrontation”, Wenger said.

He said: ‘We want to keep going & be good because we know that a new manager is coming, so maybe everything will change. “I will say goodbye to Mourinho and to everybody”.

His dream was to emulate heroes like Thierry Henry and Sylvain Wiltord, whose strike clinched the title there for The Gunners in 2002. Former United man Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a doubt.

Battle of the buffet Wenger’s “Invincibles” went to Old Trafford on October 24, 2004, looking to extend a 49-match unbeaten run.

Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger were arch rivals.

Lacazette missed two good opportunities, clipping the outside of the post in the sixth minute, and heading straight at Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak a minute later. I was a real fan.

As Wenger launched a verbal assault on referee Mike Dean before lashing out on the nearest water bottle within his vicinity after Robin van Persie’s injury-time equaliser was ruled out for offside, the Frenchman received his marching orders, as a cauldron of hysterics reverberated around Old Trafford.
