Former United chairman Martin Edwards revealed in his autobiography that the club sounded out Wenger after Ferguson announced he would retire in 2002. But Ferguson changed his mind, and Wenger says he has no regrets about staying put at Arsenal.
Asked if he had been tempted by United's offer, the Frenchman replied: "No, because I was always happy here. More than people were happy with me, I was always happy here."
