Piers Morgan targeted a savage dig at Erik ten Hag following Man United’s defeat to FC Copenhagen. On Wednesday, the Red Devils suffered their third Champions League defeat of the season, falling to the Danish champions. Ten Hag’s chances of qualifying suffered a significant setback as a result of the loss. The dig was mostly aimed at ten Hag’s treatment of Cristiano Ronaldo during his second stint at Old Trafford
Morgan shared a screenshot of Erik ten Hag along with the full-time score between Manchester United and FC Copenhagen. ‘I don’t need Ronaldo,’ Morgan wrote, imitating the Dutchman.
Rasmus Hojlund scored a brace in the first 30 minutes to help United get off to a fast start. However, Marcus Rashford’s questionable red card precipitated a dramatic collapse, and the Premier League team lost 4-3. Morgan has subsequently begun a social media offensive on Ten Hag. He planned for Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure to be the cause of United’s slump in form.
Man United are now bottom of their Champions League group and may face an early exit from the competition. A defeat against Galatasaray might mean the end of their season before they face already-qualified leaders Bayern Munich in their last match.
Ronaldo had a rough time under ten Hag, and the explosive interview with Morgan was the last nail in the coffin. The Portuguese stated that he had no regard for the Dutch leader.
The interview also targeted the club’s owners, the Glazers family, resulting in a mutual termination of his contract. Ronaldo departed Manchester United to play for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.
Ronaldo was harshly chastised for his alleged lack of press and subsequent dip in his numbers. It was argued that it was slowing down the club and hampering the development of young players. Following yesterday night’s setback, Morgan resorted to social media to criticise the former Ajax manager for how he treated the former Real Madrid player.
