Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has reacted to Nani's claim that the Gunners will not win the Premier League title this season by poking fun at the Manchester United winger's intelligence.

Nani has said he cannot see anybody winning the championship "outside of Manchester United or Chelsea", but Wenger was not impressed by the Portugal international's comments.

"Everybody has a different opinion in this league and nobody is perfect," the 61-year-old said mockingly on Thursday. "We live in a society where everybody knows everything and it is a shame to say, 'I don't know'.

"I personally don't know who will win the league and I have managed 1,600 games. If Nani knows he must be 1,600 times more intelligent than I am."

Arsenal, who are second in the Premier League, face title hopefuls Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Monday. United lead the Gunners by two points, with a game in hand.
