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.”
But Inter Miami owner Beckham snr took no prisoners with a brutal reply.
Quoting Romeo’s story on Instagram, he said: “Big game for you lot.
“Just another game for us.”
Beckham has recalled how Romeo wanted to watch a match one weekend, with Arsenal happening to be on.
He was then treated well by then-Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, who took him into the changing room to meet the players and present him with a signed shirt.

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.”
