Arsenal called out for aiming dig at Man United

According to Metro UK, Arsenal appeared to aim a subtle dig at Manchester United shortly after their FA Cup triumph.

In a post shared shortly after the match, the Gunners, who finished second in the league, boasted that they remain the team to have won the FA Cup the most times.

"We have a legacy in the FA Cup like no other team, having lifted the trophy a record 14 times," Arsenal tweeted.

However, the tweet did not go down well with thousands of fans, who called out the north Londoners for the 'embarrassing' post.

@ez89o9 joked:

"Congrats to Arsenal for winning the "we have lifted the fa cup 14times" trophy this season."

@holardamolar added:

"Shameless club."

@Darealmayabanks sarcastically posted:

"Great timing Admin 👏🏽👏🏽."

@MeePlusYou concluded:

"If shameless was a football club😂😂"
