Fan gives controversial Pepsi advert the 'Arsene Wenger Out' treatment

The original advert was accused of “mocking” the Black Lives Matter movement and “appropriating the resistance”

A fan has used the controversial Pepsi advert to promote the 'Arsene Wenger Out' movement.

Demonstrations urging Wenger to call time on his Arsenal reign have popped up across the globe - from Vancouver to New Zealand - as the Frenchman delays announcing a decision on his next step.

And now a supporter has mocked up an image using the axed Pepsi commercial, which has been pulled after the company conceded they “missed the mark”.

One user noted that Twitter had used the doctored image including the 'Wenger Out' banner to promote a genuine story about the advert being pulled.

Billy Keenly wrote: "There's funny, and then there's Twitter using a #WengerOut photoshop as the thumbnail for the Pepsi ad story funny."

The scenario mirrors a genuine protest against the Arsenal manager which was spotted at a an anti-Trump rally in London earlier this year.

Wenger, whose Arsenal contract is up in the summer, is understood to have been offered a two-year extension despite the club's failure to challenge for the Premier League title this season and their place in next year's Champions League being anything but certain.
