In a humorous message, PIERS MORGAN advised Cristiano Ronaldo to join Arsenal right away.
The 37-year-old Portuguese star reportedly informed Old Trafford officials that he wants to leave the team.
After the shocking Manchester United transfer request, Piers Morgan jokes on Twitter that Ronaldo should join Arsenal.
And as Georgina Rodriguez watches, the TalkTV host presents Ronaldo with an Arsenal shirt in a picture that he posts on Twitter.
It's time @Cristiano#afc, Morgan wrote as the height of sarcasm in his caption for the picture.
According to rumors, United legend requested that the United hierarchy accept any offers made for him.
Consequently, Chelsea will be on high alert as they search for a striker to replace the void left by Romelu Lukaku's transfer to Inter Milan.

The shocking news came after the first week of preseason practice, during which new Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag received glowing evaluations.
The idea of playing his first season in nearly two decades without Champions League football makes Ron, who hasn't yet returned to Carrington, unhappy.
And he doesn't think United's team is strong enough to challenge for the title.
Morgan said on SPORT back in April, "Do you know what I'd do if I were Arsenal manager? Cristiano Ronaldo would be placed front and center if I went in.
"Last week, I spoke with him about this. Come to Arsenal, I urged.
Morgan has previously pleaded with Ronaldo to refrain from scoring against his beloved Arsenals.
Recently, Jorge Mendes, the agent for Ronaldo, and new Blues manager Boehly met to talk about a variety of issues, including the possibility of the sporting legend moving.
The experienced forward, who was a bright spot in an otherwise miserable season for the Red Devils, is also attracting interest from German powerhouse Bayern.
Ronaldo was United's leading goal scorer, tallying 24 goals and three assists in 39 appearances.
