Arsenal midfielder aims ‘pathetic’ snide dig at Alexis Sanchez

Alexis Sanchez is no longer on the payroll at Arsenal Football Club. You might have heard.

You also might have heard how, towards the end of his stay at the club, when it was clear he was on the brink of a move to Manchester City United, some of his teammates couldn't wait to see the back of him. Murmurings of a divided Arsenal dressing room reached a peak when Sanchez was seen coaxing his teammates to join him in celebrating a goal in the victory over Crystal Palace in late December. Not everyone did join him. Since it became apparent Sanchez was destined for Old Trafford, Arsenal have been doing just fine. Last weekend, before the deal was confirmed, they roared into a four-goal lead over Palace at The Emirates inside just 22 minutes. In their next outing, they overcame Chelsea in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final. It's been enough for some to suggest that Arsenal might be better off without the Chilean after all. With all this in mind, you can see why some Arsenal supporters might have interpreted a tweet from Mohamed Elneny as being a thinly-veiled dig at Sanchez. The Egyptian midfielder tweeted a picture of himself celebrating with teammates during the victory over Chelsea. The text accompanying it read: 'Now there are players fighting every minute for the logo and the fans'. https://twitter.com/ElNennyM/status/956561273646469120 Arsenal fans were quick to respond... https://twitter.com/AFC_Reports/status/956561462192934916 https://twitter.com/Stillberto/status/956565874751758336 https://twitter.com/Mourinholic/status/956562397904416769 https://twitter.com/utdjamess/status/956563745102327809 https://twitter.com/LDNjordan007/status/956572676293906432
