Piers Morgan again leaves no stone unturned from Erik ten Hag after Manchester United’s 3-0 defeat at Seville. The Red Devils lost over two matches 5-2 to the Spaniards, who therefore qualified for the semi-finals of the Europa League. Morgan, a well-known English journalist and idol of Cristiano Ronaldo, could not resist giving Ten Hag another kick via Twitter on Thursday evening.

“Good heavens”, Morgan opens in his Tweet, and then lashes out at Ten Hag. “What a humiliating performance from United. And remember: this overrated clown Erik ten Hag thought it was smart to drive Cristiano Ronaldo out of the club…” United led 2-0 in the first leg at Old Trafford, but let Sevilla come back to 2-2 in the final phase. own goals from Tyrell Malacia and Harry Maguire. During the return in Spain, the English lost 3-0. An immense blunder from Maguire was typical of the evening of the Red Devils.

Morgan’s criticism of Ten Hag is not new. At the beginning of March, the journalist already reported on Twitter after United lost 7-0 against arch-rival Liverpool. He first posted a photo of Ronaldo in United’s shirt, only to blast Ten Hag completely in a subsequent Tweet. “Hasn’t he left yet? How can a Manchester United manager survive a catastrophically poor performance and result?” Morgan wondered at the time. That earned him a lot of criticism from United fans, who fully supported their manager.

Morgan is known as a big fan of Arsenal, but also has a soft spot for Ronaldo. In November last year, the journalist released a major interview with the Portuguese, after which a bomb exploded in Manchester. Ronaldo said in the interview, among other things, that he has ‘no respect for Ten Hag’. In addition, the superstar felt “betrayed” by United’s club management. On 22 November, United officially announced that Ronaldo’s contract has been terminated by mutual consent. A few months later, the right leg signed a lucrative contract with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
