Arsene Wenger has confirmed he blocked Manchester United's attempt to loan Mathieu Debuchy in January.
"I hope that’s not surprising to you," he said at a press conference today. "If Man United wants to buy a player… you loan players out to clubs who do not have the resources, but not to direct opponents. There was nothing shocking in that and it’s true, I stand up for that. "I was surprised, yes. I can understand it but I found that logical [to block the loan]."
