Arsene Wenger has defended his time as Arsenal manager - insisting their form since his departure shows he was not underachieving.

Wenger left the Gunners after the 2017/18 season having come under increased pressure towards the end of his 22-year reign.

Wenger told beIN Sports: "Every year people want something more from you. I experienced that at Arsenal.

"We were twenty consecutive years in the top four but in the end it was not enough anymore.

"Today if you get into the Champions League people are very happy.

"That happened to Pochettino. Once you're somewhere four or five years, no matter how good a job you have done, you have to show people you can give even more. He's at that stage."
