The France international admits he is annoyed by the Arsenal's coach's reluctance to offer him first-team football before not allowing him a loan move to Old Trafford in January
Mathieu Debuchy has admitted his frustration with Arsene Wenger after the Arsenal manager blocked a loan move to Manchester United.
The France international joined Bordeaux until the end of the season having struggled to make an impact for the Gunners this season behind first-choice right-back Hector Bellerin.
The former Newcastle defender's move to Ligue 1 came about after he was denied the chance to join United, who were keen to sign full-back cover following a spate of injuries.
But Debuchy has revealed Wenger was not keen to help out a rival club despite the player being keen on a move to Old Trafford.
"Yes, at the end of the transfer window they [United] came in," Debuchy told Canal +."They contacted my agents.
"I was disappointed, obviously. If I had the chance to go to Manchester United it would have been magnificent.
"Unfortunately it wasn't the case. I discussed it with the coach too, who said that obviously he couldn't help out a rival."

Debuchy also admitted at his annoyance with Wenger at not giving him more opportunities in the first team after proving his fitness in pre-season and being promised more minutes.
"Yes, I'm a little bit annoyed with him. It's his choice [not to give him playing time].
"I came back well this summer, I had a good pre-season.
"I was able to talk to him to know my future at Arsenal. He said that I would have game time and that we would discuss it in December.
"Unfortunately, I didn't have this game time."
