Arsene Wenger has hinted that growing supporter unrest influenced his decision to quit Arsenal at the end of the season. The 68-year-old saw his side beat West Ham 4-1 at the Emirates Stadium in the first Arsenal game since he announced on Friday he would step down in the summer.
A late goal from Aaron Ramsey and a brace from Alexandre Lacazette, wrapped up a win for Wenger.Marko Arnautovic scored for West Ham to cancel out Nacho Monreal's opener. "Personally I believe this club is respected all over the world, much more than in England, and that our fans did not give the image of unity I want at the club all over the world and that was hurtful," he said.
"I feel the club is respected and overall the image we gave from our club is not what it is and not what I like. "I'm not resentful and I do not want to make stupid headlines.
"I just feel if my personality is in the way of what I think our club is, for me that is more important than me. "That is what I want to say, it is nothing to do with the fans, the fans were not happy I can understand that, that is my job and I have to live with that, I can accept that."
