Arsene Wenger has admitted that his Arsenal players questioned his tactics after defeat to Manchester United.

Arsenal were beaten 3-1 by United despite having 33 shots on goal at the Emirates Stadium.

David de Gea equalled a Premier League record with 14 saves, but Arsenal were exposed in defence as United counter-attacked with pace and skill.

Wenger says that he analysed the game with his squad, some of whom had their own questions.

When asked whether his players had anything to say about the tactics at the Emirates Stadium, Wenger replied: “Everybody has a little bit of his own analysis. But mine counts!

“We analysed it in a very objective way. We had a very strong creative performance and a poor defensive performance.

“When you have a defeat like that, a disappointment like that, you try to analyse it straight away with the players to get it out of the system and focus on what is in front of you.”
