Mikel Arteta's vital three-word message to Bukayo Saka revealed after Arsenal win over Man United

Bukayo Saka is having quite the individual season. In the five league games since the World Cup he has scored three times and assisted once but few of his goals will have been as important as the one he smashed in against Manchester United on Sunday.

Having terrorised Luke Shaw in a way that not many have this season, Saka put his side ahead in the second half with a stunning long range strike from the right hand side, cutting in and firing the ball across David de Gea and into the far corner. Lisandro Martinez may have equalised just minutes later but the moment of Saka's goal cannot be taken away.

The England international went close to doing the same thing later in the half, clipping the outside of the same post he had nestled the ball inside of previously. Having been a star for Gareth Southgate in Qatar he has simply continued the electric form and no longer looks like the nice kid, he's truly one of the best in his position.
