FA Cup: Fans Attack Granit Xhaka After Losing To Man United

GRANIT XHAKA was involved in an ugly confrontation with Arsenal fans as he drove away from the Emirates after crashing out of the FA Cup.

The midfielder had just featured for the Gunners as they fell to a 3-1 home defeat to Manchester United in the fourth round tie.

 And the 26-year-old's night only got worse as he tried to make his way home.

Several Arsenal fans appeared to criticise the Swiss ace's performance on the street - somewhat surprising as he was far from the worst player on a miserable night in North London.

As fans continued to vent their anger, Xhaka told them to "shut up" before winding up his window.

There were some present showing support for the much-maligned midfielder with one fan shouting "we love you".

This season Xhaka, who has won 61 caps for Switzerland, scoring six times, has been shipped around boss Unai Emery's starting XI.

He has played centre-half after injuries to the likes of Laurent Koscielny, Sokratis, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Rob Holding.

And he has also been switched to full-back to help out.

Goals from Alexis Sanchez and Jesse Lingard put Manchester United in the comfortable lead just before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang pulled a goal back.

But Anthony Martial came from the bench to grab the third after Pau Pogba shot was spilt by Petr Cech.
