Arsenal Fan Claims Nicolas Pepe Has Been A Better Signing Than Bruno Fernandes In Controversial Twitter Thread
Published
| Last updated
Manchester United have been transformed by the signing of Bruno Fernandes, with the midfielder making them a much more dangerous prospect for opposition teams.
In fact, Fernandes has taken the Premier League by storm, pulling off 19 goals and 14 assists in just 30 matches in the competition and helping Ole Gunnar Solskjaer guide the Red Devils to an unlikely title challenge.
However, that apparently hasn't been enough for one Arsenal fan, who unbelievably thinks that Nicolas Pepe has actually been a better signing since arriving in north London.
This is the same Pepe who has just six assists and seven goals in 42 Premier League matches.
Nicolas Pepe has been a more successful signing for Arsenal than Bruno Fernandes has been for Manchester United.

This is apparently because the Frenchman has helped Arsenal to the FA Cup, while Fernandes is yet to win a trophy at Old Trafford.
Indeed, the Portuguese has been criticised by some for going missing in the bigger games, despite his excellent performances for most of the season.
Arsenal won a trophy due to Pepe; Goal in quarters, assist in semi and assist in the final. Since his arrival at Manchester United Bruno Fernandes has statpadded meaningless goals and assists which have led to failure. pic.twitter.com/Gpkmu0kVkw

The supporter doesn't seem to be backing down, claiming that United fans just aren't seeing the situation clearly.
not sure why united fans can't get their heads around this one. Pepe has lead to us winning a trophy, Bruno has bottled countless semi-finals since joining, he can't do it when it matters most

Followers of both clubs have hit back at the fan, pointing out that his point of view is objectively wrong and would mean that Phil Jones is better than any Arsenal player since 2004.

He'd be your best player at your club, he's top 3 best players in the league, he turned us from banter fc to title challengers whilst Pepe turned banter fc into a relegation battle :joy::joy:
