Legendary Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has claimed Manchester United were one of the clubs he turned down.
Wenger revealed he questioned whether he made the right decision to sign a three-year extension when the club’s new owner, Stan Kroenke, bought a majority share in the club.
“I still today wonder if I did the right thing, because life was never exactly the same after [Dein’s departure].
“I thought I had to go to the end of this project, but I could’ve gone to the French national team, England national team twice or three times. I could’ve gone to Real Madrid twice, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, even to Manchester United.
“My fatal flaw is I loved too much where I am… where I was.”
Wenger eventually left Arsenal in 2018 after 22 years at the helm.
Since his exit, the Gunners finished sixth in the 2018/2019 season under his replacement, Unai Emery, and eighth twice in 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 with current manager Mikel Arteta.
