Morgan, who famously interviewed Ronaldo in November 2022, reigniting tensions that led to the player’s departure from Manchester United, doubled down on his criticism of ten Hag. He took aim at the Dutch manager’s recent comments after United’s 3-0 loss to Liverpool, calling his remarks “gibberish” and claiming ten Hag lacks the ability to manage “supreme talent” like Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho, and Marcus Rashford.
Ronaldo, who now plays for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, recently surpassed 900 career goals with his performances for Portugal in the Nations League. Morgan asserted that United would be “immeasurably better” if they still had Ronaldo, insisting the 39-year-old remains “one of the most lethal finishers in world football.”
The outspoken broadcaster continued to lambast ten Hag’s leadership style, likening him to a “bossy little school teacher” who struggles to handle top-tier talent. Morgan’s comments have sparked debate among fans and pundits, particularly given Manchester United’s poor start to the season under ten Hag’s management.
While Morgan’s fiery remarks continue to stir the pot, one thing is certain: his loyalty to Ronaldo remains unwavering. As for ten Hag, the pressure mounts as he aims to turn United’s fortunes around amid growing scrutiny.
