Gabriel Jesus Aims Mighty Dig at Manchester United with 'Warm Up' Comment After Heroics vs PSV

• Gabriel Jesus appeared to aim a dig at Manchester United after Arsenal’s win over PSV
• The Brazilian was on target as the Gunners claimed an emphatic victory on Wednesday
• Jesus made a sly comment said to be aimed at United during his post-match interview

Gabriel Jesus could not help himself as he seemingly aimed a subtle dig at Manchester United in the wake of Arsenal’s 4-0 victory over PSV Eindhoven.

The Brazilian was one of the better performers on the night as he found the net for the Gunners' third goal in the first half to put the result beyond the visitors.

Jesus has endured a torrid 2023, having missed several months of last season through a long-term injury.

He also missed the first few games for Arsenal in the 2023/24 campaign as he recovered from a minor knee problem.

Upon his return, however, it was like Jesus he never left as the 26-year-old has netted two goals in three games for the Gunners.

Among those goals was a devastating sucker punch to round off a 3-1 win against Manchester United on Sunday; a strike which he used to aim a dig at the Red Devils.

After Jesus’ heroics against PSV, he appeared for a virtual interview where Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry asked him about his lengthy injury layoff.

The Frenchman asked the Gunners star how difficult it was to be injured and have to watch the team play from the sidelines. Jesus responded, per CBS Sports:

"Was a good warm-up, huh?" with many taking that comment to be about his goal against United 11 minutes into second-half stoppage time.

The Arsenal star added: "It's so hard: you guys played the game, you know. I had some injuries in my career and [that] was a bad time, always. But obviously, I tried to be strong in my mind to come back as quickly as possible and stronger."
