Jack Wilshere can't resist Man Utd dig after leading Arsenal to FA Youth Cup Final

Jack Wilshere has called for the Arsenal fans to pack out the Emirates Stadium for the Under 18s' against either West Ham or Southampton in the FA Youth Cup final.

The young Gunners booked their place in the final by beating 10-man Manchester City 2-1 on Tuesday. Myles Lewis-Skelly's extra-time winner earned the victory after Justin Oboavwoduo cancelled out Michal Rosiak's opener. Wilshere's side will now face the winners of West Ham's semi-final clash against Southampton on Saturday, April 29 as the Gunners aim to lift the trophy for the first time since 2009.

Their win over City was momentous. A sell-out crowd of 10,000 saw the Gunners come out on top, with the club capping the capacity for the match. But ahead of the FA Youth Cup final, Wilshere is hoping for a crowd of 60,000 as the former midfielder also could not help himself by making a cheeky dig at Manchester United.
