Arsene Wenger has joked he will become a BBC journalist
Arsenal secured a huge 2-0 win over Manchester United this afternoon, keeping their top-four hopes alive.
The victory was Arsene Wenger’s first against Jose Mourinho and appeased fans who have been calling for ‘Wenger Out’ for months.
Attention switched to the Frenchman’s future at the Emirates post match, with BBC reporter Jonathan Pearce asking if he will see him next season.

But the 67-year-old remained tight-lipped and joked: “You want me to work for the BBC?”
Wenger previously claimed he would announce his future by March or April, which he has failed to do.
And when quizzed about it in his pre-match press conference earlier in the week, he simply claimed he was “wrong”.
All of the signs point to Wenger penning a new deal following his recent talk about pre-season and transfers.
However, French broadcaster Telefoot claim the Arsenal board have put in place plans to replace him with Monaco’s Leonardo Jardim.
The 42-year-old’s future at the Stade Louis II stadium is said to be uncertain and the Gunners are keen to take him to north London.
