'Matteo should cut his hair!' - Emery laughs off clash between Guendouzi and Fellaini

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has jokingly suggested that Matteo Guendouzi should get his haircut to avoid another incident like the one between the Frenchman and Marouane Fellaini at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

Guendouzi had his frizzy hair pulled by Red Devils midfielder Fellaini during Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United, but the Belgian escaped punishment from the referee.

Ironically, Fellaini himself recently decided to cut off his own trademark afro and the 19-year-old Arsenal midfielder was not at all happy that his opponent had gone unpunished.

However, speaking in a press conference at Arsenal’s training ground on Thursday, Emery suggested that he didn’t see much wrong with Fellaini’s actions and joked that Guendouzi should have his haircut before their next match against Huddersfield Town.
