Morgan wants his pal to move to the Emirates.
In case you didn’t know, Piers Morgan and Cristiano Ronaldo are best pals. Yes, really.
Morgan doesn’t like to mention it very often but he has developed a close relationship with the Portugal international, so much so, that he managed to get another exclusive interview.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner wasn’t included in the Manchester United squad for their last-minute win against Fulham, with the club explaining that he was missing through illness, but just hours later, the interview was released.
During this Ronaldo revealed all in a damning assessment of both United and Erik ten Hag, as well as insult former teammate Wayne Rooney.
Ronaldo accused United of “betraying him” while also claiming that he doesn’t show Ten Hag any respect as he doesn’t get the treatment back.

And Morgan, who is a self-confessed Arsenal fan, has urged the 37-year-old to join his beloved Gunners as they mount a charge for a first Premier League title in 18 years.
After the interview was released, one TV presenter in Ireland said: “Presumably Piers Morgan is hoping Arsenal sign Ronaldo and play him up top in every game.”
Unsurprisingly, Morgan confirmed that it would be his dream wish, tweeting: “Yes, actually. He’s exactly what we need.. @Cristiano & @gabrieljesus9 would take us to the title.”

United have yet to release a statement in relation to the interview however many fans are already under the impression that Ronaldo will never play for the club again.
One fan wrote: “Cristiano Ronaldo’s last game for Man Utd was him sitting in Tyrone Mings’ pocket for the entire game.”
