Arsenal legend Thierry Henry once reacted to seeing Granit Xhaka captain his former side by switching off the TV, according to Manchester United hero Patrice Evra.

“We’re talking about Xhaka, I will tell you a quick story,” Evra said on Sky Sports.

“Thierry Henry, one day he invited me to his house. He said ‘come Patrice, we’re going to watch the Arsenal game’.

“He turned on the TV, the first image we saw on the screen was Xhaka leading the Arsenal team, being the captain.

“Thierry Henry turned off the TV. I said: ‘What’s happened?’. He said: ‘I can’t watch my team and Xhaka being the captain of my team’ and we didn’t watch the game, we started talking about many things and he turned off the screen.

“He’d tell you everything about what the legends of this club think about him. He again let down his team.

“We criticised Pepe so much but Xhaka, it’s not the first time.”
