He then approached one fan to shake his hand while another nearby voiced criticism.

He remained composed throughout the encounter and appeared to calm the fan down.
Wilshere received praise for his handling of the situation, with one person remarking, “Brilliant from Wilshere.”
Another person added, “Luton needs to give him time; he hasn’t even had a transfer window. He’s a great coach and will only continue to learn and improve in his role.”
A third comment read: “I appreciate this from Jack. He’s a rookie manager at 34 years old, and he’s quite intelligent. This isn’t just for show; it’s who he is. He understands the significance of such gestures. I commend him for it. We should give him time.”
And another supporter noted, “I’m not his biggest fan, but I appreciate this. It would have been much easier for him to just applaud and walk away.”
