Arsenal fans will love Ian Wright's reaction to win over Manchester United

Arsenal picked up a well-earned win against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday, and Gunners legend Ian Wright was certainly enjoying the performance.

Mikel Arteta's side were dominant in the early stages of the match, enjoying the bulk of possession and keeping United pinned back inside their own half for much of the first half.

Despite their dominance, they were unable to force a goal in the first half, though Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang came close to sliding in an effort, and Willian clipped the bar with a shot before the break.

In the second half, United enjoyed a bit more of the ball, but were unable to seriously test Bernd Leno in the Gunners goal.

And with around 20 minutes remaining of the match, Hector Bellerin was brought down inside the box by Paul Pogba to earn Arsenal a penalty, which Aubameyang dispatched with ease.

Wright tweeted a video of himself singing along to music straight after full time, and followed it up with a message to one midfielder in particular - Mohamed Elneny.

Elneny has not often been one of the first-choice stars at the Emirates Stadium, and even left on loan in 2019 with his time looking to be up in North London.

But a strong performance in the midfield alongside Thomas Partey was just the latest in a line of strong contributions from the Egypt international.

The Gunners have two games left before the upcoming international break, with a Europa League clash against Molde and a Premier League match against Aston Villa, both of which are back home at the Emirates Stadium.
