Manchester United fans have mocked Arsenal winger Nicholas Pepe by saying that midfielder Daniel James is a better footballer.
The Gunners took him to the Emirates for £72m in the summer in the hope that he could revitalise the squad, but manager Unai Emery is yet to get the best out of the Ivory Coast international.

Since his big-money move, Pepe has scored just once in the Premier League from eight starts. He also has just two assists to his name.
In comparison, Daniel James moved to Old Trafford from Championship side Swansea City for £15m in the summer months and has had a much better time in the English top tier.
The 22-year-old has netted three times in 12 league starts and provided three assists, becoming one of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s most important players at the club.
After an impressive start to the season compared to his Ivorian rival, supporters were quick to voice their views on the debate on social media.
Here you will find some of the best comments from Manchester United fans:
Dan James Is better than Pepe
