This left the club without a forward until the loan signing of Wout Weghorst.

Following the Gunners' win over United, Morgan took aim at the Dutch manager for "forcing" Ronaldo out of the club.

The Arsenal fan all labelled Ten Hag as "arrogant" before suggesting that he had "never heard" of Weghorst.

"And then replaces him with someone I’ve never heard of who sounds like an Austrian sausage."

After leaving United, Ronaldo joined Saudi Arabia outfit Al-Nassr on a £175million-per-year deal.

Weghorst joined United on loan from Burnley after the clubs agreed to a deal that would see his stint in Turkey with Besiktas cut short.
