Arsene Wenger refuses to join those criticising Unai Emery

Arsene Wenger not getting involved over the future of the man who replaced him as Arsenal manager.

Arsenal have been at the end of some really poor results recently and that heaped the pressure on Unai Emery.
However, Arsene Wenger insists he remains an Arsenal fan has refused to join the band of people who are criticizing Emery.

Emery looks to have lost the trust of the dressing room and most of the fans but Wenger is not going to discuss the manager’s performance and instead wants to remain a fan and hope that their on-field performance gets better.

“I don’t talk a lot about Arsenal, I just support them,” he said.

“I’m a supporter who wants a team to win, so that’s all.

“For me, it’s very difficult to have any assessment on Arsenal because it will be straight away interpreted when you’ve been at the club for such a long time.

“So I’m just a supporter when they don’t win I’m not happy, when they win I’m very happy.”

Wenger knows more than most what it is like to be the subject of fans dissatisfaction. He has taken the right position in not getting involved in criticism of his successor.

Emery needs his team to get a win and avoid humiliation against Leicester City at the weekend. However, another bad day at the office for the Spaniard then his days will surely be numbered at Arsenal.
