Piers Morgan is planning to drive to Old Trafford and celebrate in Cristiano Ronaldo's signature style if Arsenal win the Premier League this season.
The statement came amid a social media back-and-forth with author Wayne Barton on Twitter in the aftermath of the north London club coming from 2-0 down to win 3-2 against Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday. Barton was pulling Morgan up for labelling Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag 'embarrassing' after the United boss danced alongside Antony and Lisandro Martinez after the Carabao Cup final win.
After being challenged on the comments Arsenal fan Morgan doubled down, labelling the League Cup a '[third] tier trophy which nobody cares about'. When Barton replied that Arsenal may not even end up winning the Premier League title, the broadcaster bit back once more.

"Arsenal are going to win the League… and when we do, I’m going to drive straight up to Old Trafford and do a one-man conga at the Stretford End culminating in a massive ‘SIIIIUUUUUU!!!’"
A siu is the celebration synonymous with Ronaldo when running, jumping and turning in mid-air before throwing his hands down to the side when landing. Morgan infamously interviewed Ronaldo last November in an unsanctioned sit-down that precipitated the player's exit and eventual arrival in Saudi Arabia, where the 38-year-old now plays for Al-Nassr.
