Arsène Wenger could finally rejoice on Saturday evening, as Arsenal won 3-0 from AFC Bournemouth. The French manager, who has been with the Gunners for more than twenty years, is currently going through a difficult phase with the Londoners and in the past Wenger had the opportunity to work for another top English club, Manchester United, according to the trainer, earlier this month Martin Edwards, former chairman of the Red Devils, stated that Wenger was the first choice in 2002 to hint Sir Alex Ferguson, who at that time hinted Ferguson. However, De Schot remained at Old Trafford and remained with United for another eleven years. Wenger was flattered by the interest, but says that he never seriously considered choosing United:”I’m always very careful about saying something about this kind of thing”, quote various English media Wenger, who doesn’t want to give too much attention to the matter,”No, I wasn’t inclined to choose United, because I have always been very happy with Arsenal. The people were happy with me and I was always happy to be here. Simply because I like the values of this club:”For me, a club is about certain values first and foremost”, Wenger continues:”One day I’ll look back at what has happened and at the evolution of Arsenal. Many things have changed, but when I came here I was talking about core values in this sport. That is why I am still there. I will always ask myself:’ yes, of course, United is attractive, but am I happy here,’ The answer is yes’, the Frenchman concludes: Had you wanted to see Arsène Wenger at Manchester United? Would you have wanted to see Arsène Wenger at Manchester United?
Wenger refused Manchester United:’ I love the values of Arsenal’.
