Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says he was never tempted to join Man United, after it emerged the Old Trafford club approached him about succeeding Alex Ferguson in 2002.


Former United chairman Martin Edwards revealed in his autobiography that the club sounded out Wenger after Ferguson announced he would retire in 2002. But Ferguson changed his mind, and Wenger says he has no regrets about staying put at Arsenal.


Asked if he had been tempted by United's offer, the Frenchman replied: "No, because I was always happy here. More than people were happy with me, I was always happy here."
