Manchester United fans have mocked Arsenal's decision to sign Nicolas Pepe in the summer transfer window by comparing his stats with those of Daniel James.
Arsenal paid a a club-record fee of £72m to sign the Ivory Coast international in the summer, but Unai Emery's side are yet to see the best from the winger.
In his opening five matches of the new season Pepe has failed to find the back of the net once and put in another mixed display as his side dropped points against Watford at the weekend.
In comparison James has netted three goals in five appearances for United already this season, an impressive return for the summer signing who cost only £15m in comparison.
And taking to social media United fans were quick to remind Arsenal supporters of the difference in transfer fees paid between the two clubs.
