Donald Trump, president of the United States of America, once hinted at which Premier League he supports in a chat with Arsenal fan Piers Morgan.
The 79-year-old, who is currently into his second term as president, has never hid his love for sport and recently made the trip to New York to watch The Ryder Cup at Bethpage.
Trump regularly plays golf and through his holding company, the Trump Organization, even owns 17 different courses around the world.
Trump also enjoys watching UFC and his relationship with UFC president Dana White has been well-documented.
When it comes to American Football, Trump’s team is thought to be the New England Patriots due to friendships with CEO Robert Kraft and legendary quarterback Tom Brady.
Also a fan of Major League Baseball, Trump’s team appears to be the New York Yankees, although he does have appreciation for the New York Mets as well.
Over in England, Trump even appears to have a favoured football team in the Premier League, and it isn’t Chelsea despite being involved in the Blues’ Club World Cup celebrations.
Donald Trump hints at which Premier League team he supports
Talking to journalist and Arsenal fan Piers Morgan back in 2018, Trump was presented with a Gunners shirt with his name on the back. Trump’s son, Barron, is a fan of Arsenal, with Morgan looking to make the President a supporter of the north London side.
However, Trump admitted that his allegiance lies with another Premier League giant, Manchester United.
“That’s beautiful, I have a son who does love this sport,” Trump said in response to the shirt.
Morgan joked: “And he loves Arsenal, right? Are you an Arsenal fan, too?”
Trump responded: “Not particularly, no. I have a friend who owns Manchester United.”
That “friend” in question appears to be Edward Glazer, co-owner of the Red Devils. In fact, it is claimed that Glazer donated £45,000 during Trump’s first ever US presidential campaign.
The American president isn’t the only famous Man Utd supporter from across the pond, with singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake also a huge Old Trafford fan.
