Arsenal's downturn in form has prompted Piers Morgan to call for the club to move for Cristiano Ronaldo, and the broadcaster attempted to lay the foundations back in 2019.
Ronaldo scored a hat-trick for United against Norwich City on Saturday, with Arsenal losing ground at the same time thanks to a defeat at Southampton. And Morgan, a vocal Gunners supporter, said he was "deadly serious" in his assertion that Mikel Arteta's side should move for the Portugal star.
Morgan handed Ronaldo an Arsenal shirt when the pair met in 2019 - at the time, the forward was still at Juventus - and joked about using it to talk him into a move. Ronaldo has since returned to the club where he won domestic and European titles in his first spell, but he admitted he was once "very close" to joining the Gunners.
