Emmanuel Frimpong has praised Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka on Twitter for his performance against Manchester United.

The former Arsenal midfielder believes that Xhaka was the best player on the pitch at the Emirates Stadium tonight, as the Premier League game ended in a goalless draw.

It was only last month that the 29-year-old had called for Arsenal to sell 28-year-old Switzerland international.

How did Granit Xhaka play against Manchester United?

Xhaka has been playing well this season and has established himself as an important player for Arsenal.

The 28-year-old played well for the Gunners again tonight and helped them to a point against United.

The Switzerland international sprayed the passes well, looked tidy in possession, and tried to drive the team forward.

According to WhoScored, Xhaka took one shot which was on target, had a pass accuracy of 96.6%, won one header, took 67 touches, and made one tackle.

The draw with United means that Arsenal are now eighth in the Premier League table with 31 points from 21 matches.

The Gunners will next face Wolverhampton Wanderers away from home in the Premier League on Tuesday evening.
