Manchester United fans were quick to run salt into the wounds of Arsenal supporters, by hailing Paddy McNair’s part in keeping Jack Wilshere out of action for three months.

The Gunners midfielder revealed he’s had to go under the knife to recover from a challenge from the United rookie during the recent defeat at the Emirates.

But if it wasn’t bad enough that the visitors managed to walk away victorious from north London with a defence that wouldn’t have looked out of place in League Two, United fans have now taken it a step further by celebrating the Northern Irishman’s ankle-shattering tackle on Twitter.

What a lovely bunch…
