Popular British TV personality, Piers Morgan, has slammed Manchester United manager, Erik Ten Hag, describing the Dutchman as an idiot for driving Cristiano Ronaldo out of Old Trafford.
NEWSUNPLUG reports that Ronaldo, 39, fell out with Ten Hag and left Manchester United in contentious circumstances in late 2022.
In his first and second coming, Ronaldo played 346 games for the Red Devils, scoring 145 goals and 64 assists.
Morgan laid into Ten Hag, saying, “Because Ten Hag is a complete idiot. I’m sorry, he is. He has been since he went there, right? He talks in complete gibberish.
“He’s now banging on about Harry Potter or something. Ten Hag is everything Ronaldo told me he was in that interview, which led to him leaving United.
“The biggest problem with Ten Hag, he’s like that bossy little school teacher you get who doesn’t know how to handle supreme academic talent.
“So you look at the players he’s been unable to handle at United. Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford. It’s all the top players. He can handle the lesser rung.
“He can handle the guys he brings in from Ajax who’ve never been on the big world stage, but he cannot handle top players. I can’t believe I’m saying this because it’s a miracle, but they’ve actually gotten worse than they were last season.
“So Cristiano Ronaldo, had he stayed at Manchester United, would have been immeasurably better than any of the strikers they’ve currently got as he’s proving for Portugal.
“The guy, the greatest that has ever played the game, the greatest that will ever play the game. That’s why he’s the number one scorer. That’s why he’ll get to a thousand goals.”
