Mikel Arteta's unseen moment with Nuno Tavares during Arsenal win over Man Utd

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta shared a warm embrace with Nuno Tavares during his team's victory against Manchester United on Saturday afternoon.

The Gunners won 3-1 at the Emirates, with Tavares scoring the opener. Arteta was keen to give the 22-year-old left-back some advice after one of the goals, stopping him as he returned to his position before pounding his heart in an emotional speech.

Tavares has experienced a tricky first season at Arsenal following his £8million move from Benfica last July. Arteta ruthlessly substituted him after just 34 minutes of their FA Cup defeat to Nottingham Forest, despite not having an injury.
