Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted that he tends to give his medals away ahead of the club's looming FA Cup final with Chelsea.

Should Wenger's side lift the title on Saturday, the Frenchman would become the most decorated winner in the cup's history with seven titles.

"I give [medals] always out. There is always a guy at the club who did not get a medal. A member of staff. I have given it to him. So you are always a medal short and you will always find someone who takes it," said Wenger, according to the Evening Standard.

"I am not back-looker. I am always forward. At home, you would not even guess that I am a football manager, apart from the fact that a football game is on.

"I am not separated from football. I am completely in football. I watch the game that is on on the night but I don't look back what we have won, what we have done and all that. Or what we have lost."

Wenger has also won three Premier League titles during his tenure with the Gunners, which began in 1996.
