Arsene Wenger does not believe there is any truth in the rumours linking Barcelona forward Thierry Henry with a transfer to Manchester United.

Henry ended his eight-year stay at Arsenal last summer, joining Spanish giants Barca for a £16million fee.

The Frenchman has, however, struggled for form at Camp Nou, and recent press reports have claimed he could make a dramatic return to the Premier League, with Gunners rivals United mooted as an interested party.

But Wenger feels Henry would only come back to play in England's top flight to re-sign for Arsenal.

"I don't believe in that," Wenger told the club's official website.

"I don't believe Thierry Henry will come back to England. That is my gut feeling.

"But I think if he comes back to England then he comes back to Arsenal."
