The Sun called the move was taken because of Ferguson's Manchester City architect Roberto Mancini also wants Nasri to Eastlands, after failing to bring Alexis Sanchez of Udinese.
"I spoke with Alexis but she wanted to move to Barcelona. We finally have decided to withdraw from the negotiations, although we have made a serious bid against him, "Mancini said.
Neither Ferguson or Mancini touted dare poured 40 million pounds for the Chile winger, but Sanchez seems closer to Barcelona. Both are now shifting to the player shooting a cheaper alternative, in which bidding for Nasri could be around 20 million pounds.
Wenger certainly thinks a thousand times to take off Nasri prior to the rival club. Arsenal are trying to build a sturdy ladder to win the Premier League next season, and took off one of his best players to United or City is certainly not a smart choice.
But while Wenger was hard, he promised not to let Nasri depressed if he refused to renew his contract, at least two giants Manchester bidding war that could make Arsenal enjoyed a much higher price than when he was brought in from Marseille three years ago with a tag of 12 pounds.
