Arsenal have wished manager Unai Emery a happy birthday from their official Twitter account – and the timing couldn’t really be more awkward.

According to the Times, the Spanish tactician is under pressure as Arsenal chief Raul Sanllehi is said to have met with former Manchester United and Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho over coming in as manager.

It remains to be seen if this will definitely come to pass or if Emery can still save his job at the Emirates Stadium.

Here are just some of the angry responses Arsenal’s tweet has received…
