    Fan Chases Arsenal Team Bus - Gets Invite to Come Aboard

    AAA
    Well, it looks like Arsenal wasn't able to avoid fans after all.

    After spending most of their trip in quarantine conditions, not meeting with fans or eating local food, the British football team allowed one lucky local on their bus. Dubbed ‘Running Man,’ this unnamed Vietnamese super fan chased the Arsenal team bus for 5 km through the streets of Hanoi before being invited on board.

    Video of the occasion showed Arsenal players chanting "Sign him up, sign him up!" as the man pursued the bus. After bumping into a a few trees and pulling up next to the bus on motorbike, team manager, Arsène Wenger, invited the man onto the bus to take photos with the team.

    Arsenal plays a friendly with the Vietnam national team this afternoon at My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi.

    Check out video of 'Running Man' below:
