Jack Wilshere admits taking charge of Arsenal's U18s this season has seen him fall in love with the game again.

At the Emirates on Tuesday, Arsenal face Manchester City in the FA Youth Cup semi-finals.

"It's given me back the real deep love for football. And I didn't know I'd lost it, to be honest," Wilshere told the Daily Mail.

"I came back here last year - I was coaching a bit, training a bit. Then I had a decision to make."

Of his team, he added: "There are players that are good enough. Then it is down to them when they get in front of the manager [Mikel Arteta] and down to me to give them what they need."
