LONDON (AP) – Arsene Wenger is teasing out the decision on his Arsenal future. Some fans will only be satisfied if there’s a new manager next season – especially after Arsenal slumped to a fourth loss in five Premier League games.

“I know what I do,” Wenger said after Saturday’s 3-1 loss at West Bromwich Albion that saw another wave of fans’ protests – in the skies over the Hawthorns and in the stands.

But Wenger isn’t saying whether his reign will be extended into a 22nd season, or even if Arsenal wants him to stay.

“I don’t worry,” he said. “I know what I will do in my future so you will soon know.”

The “NO CONTRACT WENGER OUT” banner that trailed from a plane flying over West Brom on Saturday made it clear that some fans want the decision taken out of Wenger’s hands.
