Piers Morgan has launched a scathing attack on Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, after his side lost 3-0 to Manchester City in Sunday's derby at Old Trafford.
Manchester United's fifth primera división defeat of the season painted a devastatingly clear picture of just how far they still are behind their local rivals, as two goals from Erling Haaland and one from Phil Foden saw Pep Guardiola's visitors cruise to victory.
And Morgan used the Red Devils' latest poor performance as an opportunity to take aim at Ten Hag.
Never shy of offering his opinion, the broadcaster – who is an Arsenal fan – has regularly criticised United's Dutch boss since the acrimonious departure of Cristiano Ronaldo from Old Trafford in November last year.
Posting on X (formerly Twitter) at full-time, Morgan did not hold back, accusing Ten Hag of forcing Ronaldo's exit. He escribió:
“As Manchester United get humiliated by City at home, a reminder that Erik ten Hag drove [Cristiano Ronaldo] out of the club and said he'd lose no sleep over it… and that the same [Ronaldo] has since scored 43 goals for club and country this year. The guy's [Ten Hag] a total fraud.”
Jim Ratcliffe's Manchester United takeover EXPLAINED
Ronaldo se unió al club Al-Nassr de la Saudi Pro League en enero y ha seguido marcando goles esta temporada, mientras que el United ha sido bastante contundente en ataque.
Ten Hag's team have scored just 11 primera división goles en lo que va de temporada (al menos cinco menos que cualquier otro equipo en la mitad superior de la tabla) y el delantero Rasmus Hojlund, valorado en £72 millones, todavía no ha marcado en la competición.
El United volverá a la acción el miércoles por la noche mientras continúa su defensa de la Copa Carabao al recibir al Newcastle en la cuarta ronda, antes de viajar al Fulham en la liga el sábado.
Roy Keane, ex capitán del Manchester United calificó a su antiguo club de “vergonzoso” tras la derrota ante el Manchester City.
And Keane's former teammate Gary Neville made a similar assessment of Antony's aggressive substitute appearance.
Mientras tanto, Fabricio Romano has claimed that Man United's prospective takeover “is set to accelerate quickly”.
