Wenger Blocked My Move To Man Utd

Mathieu Debuchy has come out to reveal that Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger denied him a Deadline Day move to Manchester United as the manager did not want to help out a rival.

Debuchy, who joined Arsenal from Newcastle United in July 2014 for a fee believed to be £12m, featured just twice in the Premier League for the Gunners this season before sealing a move to Bordeaux says that he was frustrated by Wenger's refusal to sanction his move to Old Trafford and feels he was denied a magnificent opportunity. He said “I was disappointed, obviously. If I had the chance to go to Manchester United it would have been magnificent. Unfortunately it wasn't the case. I discussed it with the coach too, who said that obviously he couldn't help out a rival. Yes, I'm a little bit annoyed with him. It's his choice”.

Debuchy admits he was disappointed not to have had the game time initially promised by Wenger earlier in the season. “I came back well this summer, I had a good pre-season. I was able to talk to him to know my future at Arsenal. He said that I would have game time and that we would discuss it in December. Unfortunately, I didn't have this game time”.
