Television host and Arsenal fan Piers Morgan took to Twitter to poke fun at Manchester United striker Robin van Persie following their defeat to Liverpool.

The 48-year-old has been known to mock the Dutchman on the social networking website since Van Persie left the Emirates for United back in 2012.

After United lost 3-0 to arch rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday, Morgan decided to mock Van Persie by making a play on the words of the Merseyside club's anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.

Along with an image of Van Persie glumly walking behind the Liverpool team celebrating, Morgan tweeted: "YOU'LL ALWAYS WALK ALONE...."
