Wenger admits defender may leave
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has given the strongest indication yet that Thomas Vermaelen could be set to leave the club for Manchester United this summer, the Guardian reports.
The Belgian centre-back has been out of favour at the Emirates Stadium for some time now, with a dip in form seeing him fall behind Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny in the pecking order.
Still, he remains a highly regarded talent and is believed to be on United’s radar, with Wenger admitting he could move, saying: “I expect him to stay but he, of course, did not play enough games last year. For me he’s a very important player but I couldn’t guarantee him the games he wanted last year. I am not sure that he will stay. We’ll see.”
