Manchester United icon David Beckham has hilariously trolled his son - and Arsenal supporter - Romeo Beckham ahead of tonight's big Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium.
Despite Beckham making some 391 appearances for the Reds, lifting the Champions League once and the Premier League on six occasions at Old Trafford, son Romeo doesn't support the Manchester club. Instead, he supports the Gunners after a trip to their stadium as a child.
Beckham has often recalled that his son Romeo wanted to watch a match one weekend and it just so happened that Arsenal were at home that Saturday. On the day itself, Beckham Jnr was treated incredibly well by then-manager Arsene Wenger who took him down to the changing room to meet all the players and present him with a signed shirt.

In Beckham Snr's own words while speaking previously on Rio Ferdinand Presents: "It was done!
"I've tried to change his mind since, but it is impossible." No surprise, then, that tension is building in the Beckham household ahead of tonight's Premier League encounter.
Taking to Instagram, Romeo wrote: "Big game in the old Beckham household today David Beckham. Come on you Gunners." However, David would have the last laugh with a savage retort - at Arsenal's expense. "Big game for you lot," he replied with a laughing emoji, adding: "Just another game for us."
Victory for United at the Emirates Stadium would see them go to within three points of the Gunners and extend new head coach Ruben Amorim's unbeaten start to life at Old Trafford. Amorim replaced sacked Erik ten Hag after he was sacked by Ineos last month.
