The head coach of Manchester United Jose Mourinho does not want the career of his principal rival Arsen Wenger in the Arsenal ended.

The future of Arsene Wenger in the Arsenal remains unknown: the Frenchman's contract ends at the end of the season, and the parties have not yet announced whether it will be extended.

Mourinho, who once called Wenger a "loss specialist", hopes that Arsen will continue to work with the Gunners.

"I empathize with other coaches, because we are all in one skin. Each of us. Football has changed. Now the coach can not stay in one place for a long time, "Mourinho said..

"In this football everything is simple: did not succeed - go away. I'm sorry for the other coaches. It is impossible to be 20 years in a club and every year to win. Even Sir Alex Ferguson will tell you this ".

"The truth is that I hope that Wenger will continue to work in the Arsenal. This is really true. I hope the club will trust him. Probably, Wenger is the last example of a coach who brings stability to the club for such a long time ".

"Sir Alex was the same in Man United. He had the opportunity to leave when he wished. I hope, and Arsen will have such. Why not? ".

Today (May 7) Manchester United will play on the road with Arsenal. The beginning of the game is at 18:00 Kyiv time.
