Wenger has no regrets over rejecting Manchester United

Arsene Wenger believes staying at Arsenal and turning down the chance to take over at Manchester United was the right decision.

Wenger held talks with United over becoming the successor to Alex Ferguson in the early 2000s, ultimately deciding to stay with the Gunners.

The Frenchman faces United for the last time in the Premier League on Sunday, before finishing a near 22-year stay at Arsenal at the end of the season.

And the 68-year-old says he does not regret rejecting the opportunity to become United boss due to his strong feelings for Arsenal.

"No, because Arsenal is the love of my life," Wenger told reporters.
