Conor McGregor rival Khabib Nurmagomedov pictured with Piers Morgan at Arsenal v Manchester United

Conor McGregor's arch rival Khabib Nurmagomedov has been snapped with Piers Morgan at Arsenal's victory over Manchester United.

Nurmagomedov is a known Manchester United fan and decided to watch the big game with Morgan who is an avid Arsenal supporter.

The pair were snapped together with Morgan saying: "Sat next to this sporting GOAT at the match today and he was such a nice, humble, down-to-earth man. Very knowledgable about his football, too. Great to meet you ⁦ @TeamKhabib"

⁩ And the pair were treated to a cracker of a game as Arsenal scored a late winner to maintain their lead at the top of the table.

Arsenal lead Manchester City by five points after their late heroics.

The Gunners found themselves trailing after a Marcus Rashford goal.

But Mikel Arteta's side responded with goals from Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah.

And Nketiah scored a late winner for Arsenal, giving Morgan bragging rights on the occasion.
