Arsene Wenger "never" thought about quitting Arsenal

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that he "never" considered leaving his post at the Emirates following a week of scrutiny.

The Frenchman has been under pressure following the Gunners' FA Cup exit to Blackburn Rovers last weekend, as well as their 3-1 deficit in the Champions League against Bayern Munich.

"It's not down to me to judge [what people say]," Wenger said in a press conference. "My responsibility is to keep the guidelines and to guide the team and the club to what I think is right."

When asked if he had at any point this week considered quitting, Wenger replied: "Never."

The 63-year-old also claimed that he will not discuss signing a new contract until his current deal expires next year.
