Manchester United's Amad has aimed a dig at rivals Arsenal following the Red Devils' victory over the title contenders . United entered the fixture hoping to capitalise on the positive momentum from their 2-0 triumph over Manchester City the previous weekend.

However, they were confronted with another big test, travelling to face Premier League leaders Arsenal . Michael Carrick's side fell behind in the opening period courtesy of Lisandro Martinez's own goal.

The visitors managed to equalise before half-time when Bryan Mbeumo levelled the score at 1-1. Things improved even more for United afterwards, with Patrick Dorgu completing the turnaround to put them 2-1 ahead in the 50th minute.

In a thrilling encounter, Arsenal believed they had salvaged a point when Mikel Merino found the net in the 84th minute. Yet there remained one final dramatic moment, with Matheus Cunha's spectacular goal securing all three points for United with just three minutes left to play.

The victory sparked celebrations from United both on the field and amongst the travelling supporters, and it appears Amad has now extended those celebrations to social media.

Amad had one final comeback, which read: "Your only hope is a corner (laughing emoji). Be humble KID (shushing emoji)".
