A Portugal-based Arsenal fan's comments about Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Manchester United have peaked Brighton supporters' interests.

Following news that Ronaldo is close to making a dramatic return to Old Trafford, a reporter for TVI ― Portugal's fourth terrestrial television channel ― sought the views of locals.

A video, which has gone viral on social media, showed the reporter asking a passer-by if he was a fan of the Portugal star.

"Actually I'm an Arsenal fan," he responded.
