Granit Xhaka and Danny Welbeck scored in a 2-0 win for Arsenal on Sunday to leave United four points off the Champions League places.
In addition Arsenal must surely win all their remaining four league games, few of which look like an easy three points for Wenger's men. "In football you get criticised if you are sent off", he said.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger dismisses working alongside a director of football: "As long as I'm manager of Arsenal Football Club, I will decide what happens on the technical front, that's it". I am not enjoying that.
"Wenger is not a small manager".
The Portuguese boss acknowledged that winning the Europa League now appears to be their most likely route into the Champions League, but insists that his side are still aiming for a flawless end to the Premier League season too. "So it's not normal and I really don't care about it". "And during the game I didn't like what I never like, he puts too much pressure on the fourth official", he added.
The win also takes Arsenal within two points of fifth-placed United, who stay four points behind City having played the same number of games as their local rivals.
Thomas hits 53 points to lead Celtics to Game 2 win
The second game of the second round of the NBA Playoffs between the Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards takes place tonight. On Sunday, Boston was 19 of 39 on its 3-pointers, including 10 of 19 in the second half and 4 of 6 in the fourth quarter.
Wenger praised the midfielder's performance and said that his £35m ($45.3m) signing from Borussia Monchengladbach is slowly discovering his "stature" in the middle of the park.
"I watched the (Liverpool) game and I've seen the penalty given by the referee (for a handball by Jack Stephens)".
"Impossible", he said when asked about United's hopes of finishing in the top four. Because I don't think the others, playing one match per week and being in a great situation, are going to blow it. "It gives us still a chance to go into the top four". When you don't go with everything, it's more hard.
"I would love to (keep him) if I am the manager but we have to sit down together and see if he has a reasonably chance to play or not".
United, who will reveal their third quarter financial results on May 16, received £34.4m from the Champions League pot following their group-stage elimination under Louis van Gaal last season, plus a further £3.4m after reaching the round of 16 of the Europa League.
