DAVID BECKHAM had a savage reply to son, Romeo, ahead of Arsenal’s clash with Manchester United.
Red Devils icon David Beckham is no stranger to the rivalry with Arsenal on the pitch, having been a regular star in the fixture until leaving for Real Madrid in 2003.
However, the 49-year-old now has to deal with the rivalry in his own home with his second eldest child Romeo being a Gunners supporter.
And with United off to the Emirates for their first meeting of the season, Romeo took to Instagram to fan the flames before the game.
He shared a selfie with the caption: “Big game in the old Beckham household today @davidbeckham. COYG.”

“Just another game for us.”

And from there, Beckham has been unable to sway his son back to supporting his own old club.
He told Rio Ferdinand Presents: “It was done!
“I’ve tried to change his mind since, but it is impossible.”

A win for Mikel Arteta’s side could move them to within six points of Liverpool if the league leaders lose to Newcastle.
Meanwhile, a win for Ruben Amorim’s side will move them to within three points of Arsenal.
