Manchester United did the double over Arsenal in the league last season, although the Gunners took some revenge in the FA Cup final, but Wenger is clearly a coach focussed on the here and now.
Robert Pires fell victim when the Frenchman found himself demoted to the bench, after Wenger axed the player for their Champions League quarter-final second leg against Juventus last week.
Wenger said: "I don't look at our history against United because if I did, we wouldn't have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League."
Pires said: "I was very, very disappointed because I would have liked to have had an explanation but I did not get one. It was not for me to go into the office and ask why I was not playing. I've always accepted decisions whether for club or country, but this I found harder to accept because I was in a good run and physically, felt at ease."
