Arsenal fans have slammed Piers Morgan after the TV star revealed a photo presenting an Arsenal shirt to Donald Trump.

Morgan teased his upcoming interview with Trump by posting a photo on Twitter which showed the US President's name emblazoned on the back of an Arsenal shirt.

The TV presenter said he invited Trump to be Arsenal's new manager because he would "build a strong defensive wall".

"The moment I invite President Trump to be Arsenal's new manager - because he'd build a strong defensive wall, have an attacking philosophy & want to win big trophies at all costs," Morgan said.

But Arsenal fans weren't impressed with Morgan's light-hearted post.

Never mention Trump and Arsenal in the same breath again. And burn that shirt immediately. https://t.co/PwDaXMCiNr

Imagine a Wenger-Trump swap deal. America would become the greatest country in the history whilst Arsenal liquidates. https://t.co/uF7dESLK42

Even Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin offered his view on the matter, stating that he does not want Trump at the Emirates.

Hope he said no 🙄 https://t.co/EDRyiap4ni

Morgan, who is an Arsenal fan, has long called for Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to be replaced.
