Manchester United’s Jose Mourinho insists he is getting repeatedly frustrated by his side making the same mistakes every game but is happy with his side’s spirit.

While hardly one for the purists, Manchester United and Arsenal served up an entertaining encounter on Wednesday evening as the two sides contested a frantic 2-2 draw at Old Trafford.

With the scores level and both teams chasing the game, United sent Marouane Fellaini on for the final 20 minutes in the hope that the midfielder’s famed physical presence would make an impact.

Fellaini duly obliged, though perhaps not in the precise manner Jose Mourinho had envisaged.

Indeed, apparently overcome by a sudden bout of hair envy (having recently had his own afro sheared off), Fellaini set about unceremoniously stopping Matteo Guendouzi in his tracks by grabbing a handful of his counterpart’s own tousled locks.

The Belgian was subsequently reprimanded by referee Andre Marriner but somehow managed to escape a booking.

Still, that didn’t stop viewers from having their say on social media.

Having watched Leicester defender Robert Huth yank Fellaini’s afro during a game toward the tail end of the 2016-17 season, Van Gaal admonished the act before exclaiming that hair-pulling is only acceptable as part of “sex masochism.”

Huth himself later put on record his approval that his former foe had learned from him.

Maybe Guendouzi will now add the tactic as another string to his bow…
