Arsenal legend Henry upset with Wenger's critics

ARSENAL'S record scorer Thierry Henry is saddened by criticism of manager Arsene Wenger but hopes he can return to the London club in some role after his spell in Major League Soccer ends.

Wenger has been in charge at Arsenal for more than 16 years and has won three Premier League titles but the most recent was back in 2004 when Henry was the league's top scorer with 30 goals.

Henry who plays for New York Red Bulls, has heard some of the criticism of Wenger from fans and pundits this season as Arsenal have slipped to fifth place.

"When you don't win people are always going to question your work... It is sad somehow but that is the way the game is." Henry said.

"For me, it is difficult to hear, difficult to see, but for me the boss will always be Arsene - always great for me and I know what he has done for the club," he said.

Henry said he would love to return in some capacity in the future.

"All I know is that I will be involved in the game for sure and hopefully be involved with Arsenal because that is the heart talking there," he said.
