Arsene Wenger has slammed
suggestions Arsenal's FA Cup fate will have an impact when he decides his
Gunners future.
Wenger's side face Manchester City
in the FA Cup semifinals at Wembley on Sunday with the Gunners boss yet to
reveal if he will extend his 21-year stay with the north London club.
With Wenger enduring constant calls
for his resignation from furious Arsenal fans, it has been claimed a limp exit
from the FA Cup might convince the Frenchman to quit when his contract expires
at the end of the season.
With Wenger's record of qualifying
for the Champions League for the last 19 years under severe threat this season,
lifting the FA Cup might be the only way to salvage a wretched campaign.
But, asked today if winning the Cup
for a seventh time would have a bearing on his future, Wenger said it does not
play any part in that.
While describing the FA Cup as a
very important game for him because it is the opportunity to win a trophy this
season, Wenger said his team is fully focused on that.
