However, Sir Alex says speculation about the Frenchman leaving is "ridiculous". He told The Sun: "It's a crazy world we're in. You only need to lose a couple of games to have critics howling down at you.
"All the talk is about Arsenal and Arsene leaving. But who can replace him? It's the most ridiculous situation.
"The man has been simply unbelievable. He has given Arsenal platforms they never thought they'd get to. He should carry on. He shouldn't listen to the critics. The one thing you need in this game is ear plugs."
