Manchester United fans are raving about Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli after his display against them last night.
What’s the story?
Martinelli may not have got on the scoresheet, but he did catch the eye for the Gunners on a rare start.
One powerful run in the second-half was a particular highlight, where he burst past both Scott McTominay and Fred before laying on a chance for Pierre Emerick Aubameyang.
But he was a constant threat throughout and actually looked far more dangerous than Aubameyang.
United fans were certainly impressed, with many describing him as Arsenal’s best player on the evening.
Catching the eye
Arsenal may have lost 3-2 yesterday, but Martinelli’s strong display certainly won’t harm his chances of featuring more regularly under Mikel Arteta.
With Aubameyang not firing on all cylinders right now, there may actually be a question of whether the Brazilian could take his place in Arsenal’s starting line-up…
