Arsenal talent Marquinhos made fans very happy with a kind gesture following an amazing performance in the under-21s 3-1 win over Manchester United.
The Brazilian became the Gunners' first summer signing after completing a £3million move from Sao Paulo in June. Marquinhos was signed as a player 'for the future' and is one of the most promising Brazilian youngsters.
The 19-year-old signed a four-year deal and featured in the under-21s opening Premier League 2 fixture against United, catching the eye after putting in a stellar performance. Despite scoring the second goal for the young Gunners, it's what the Brazilian winger did after the game though that fans loved.

Fans were uncertain as to what exactly Marquinhos' role at Arsenal will be this season, but judging by his debut performance for the under-21s, it seems the youngster could be ready to contribute in the first team quicker than anticipated. Following the win against rivals United, the 19-year-old posed for photos with fans that would have loved what they saw from the Brazilian.
Marquinhos was bright from the start and caused plenty of problems for the United defenders, winning a free-kick and a corner with his first two involvements. The Brazilian was key to Arsenal turning the game around after he drove forward, cut inside from the wing and forced the United goalkeeper into a save, with Khayon Edwards tapping home the rebound.
Marquinhos then put the Gunners ahead shortly after the half-time break, cutting inside and shooting on his left foot but the Brazilian saw his shot unintentionally blocked by Edwards. The ball fell back to the Brazilian, who drilled the ball into the bottom corner to put Arsenal 2-1 up.
The 19-year-old rounded off his performance with a brilliant assist for Miguel Azeez as Arsenal grabbed a third goal. Marquinhos stopped to take selfies with fans that watched his masterclass in action, a performance that surely will be noticed by Arteta who may not need to sign a new 'mystery winger' after all.
