Arsene Wenger has admitted that Arsenal fans' opinion of him will be one of the factors that he will take into consideration when mulling over his future at the club.
The Frenchman's contract at the Emirates Stadium expires at the end of the season, but an increasing number of Gunners fans have been openly criticising their manager in recent months.
Tuesday night's 5-1 defeat against Bayern Munich, contributing to a 10-2 thrashing on aggregate, prompted a wave of fan protests and demonstrations outside their stadium.
Speaking at Thursday's press conference, Wenger told reporters: "I worked very hard for 20 years to make our fans happy and when you lose I understand they are not. I won't judge them.
"I know I live my daily work with complete commitment. You have to accept different opinions. Yes, of course, you consider everything. It will not be the most important factor."
Wenger is expected to announce in the next month whether he will stay on next season.
