  "account": "In 2018, Piers Morgan, a vocal Arsenal supporter, had the opportunity to interview US President Donald Trump. Morgan presented Trump with an Arsenal shirt, to which Trump responded that he had a son who loved the sport. When Morgan inquired if Trump himself was an Arsenal fan, the President replied, \"Not particularly, no,\" before adding, \"I have a friend who owns Manchester United.\" This statement revealed Trump's preference for Manchester United over Arsenal.",
  "summary": "Arsenal are set to get their 2026/27 season underway on Sunday afternoon when they take on Manchester City in the Community Shield. The Gunners enjoyed much success in the previous campaign when they clinched the Premier League title and made it to the Champions League final.",
