Nemanja Matic went full Jose Mourinho as he responded to taunts from Arsenal fans in Manchester United's crushing defeat.
Matic started in his side's 3-1 loss at Arsenal on Saturday, as he set up Cristiano Ronaldo's goal in the first half.
But the visitors failed to take any of their other chances as they slumped to their 10th Premier League defeat of the season.

Matic, who's set to leave Old Trafford this summer, was replaced by Marcus Rashford in the 77th minute.
The Serbian was greeted with heckles from the Arsenal fans as he took his seat on the bench.
And he couldn't resist a cheeky dig as he responded to the home supporters.

The 33-year-old gestured three fingers, before pointing at the Arsenal faithful while shaping a zero with his fingers.
He's referring to his two Premier League titles with Chelsea and one Primeira Liga during his time at Benfica.
In that timeframe, Arsenal have failed to win a league title and haven't won it since their triumph in 2004.
Matic's gesture bares resemblance to Mourinho's outburst in 2018 after a defeat against Tottenham.

The then-Man United manager went on one of his famous rants about how many Premier League titles he's won in his managerial career.
"Do you know what was the result? 3-0. But what this [three fingers] also means?" He said back in August 2018.
"It also means three Premier Leagues and I won more alone than the other 19 managers together. Me three, them two.
"So, respect, respect, respect."
