Wenger was speaking to the German television station ZDF before Arsenal’s 5-1 Champions League humiliation by Bayern Munich on Wednesday, but details of the interview emerged only on Thursday. Asked when he would decide whether to continue next season, he said: “March, April probably.” The 67-year-old was stunned almost into silence after Wednesday’s game, answering only three questions in a press conference that lasted under three minutes. The manager is due to speak publicly again on Friday. Arsenal’s next match is in the FA Cup at non-league Sutton United on Monday. Alexis Sánchez
