Have you ever wondered why Piers Morgan hates Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag with so much passion.
Don’t! you are not alone, I was just confused as you are right now until I discovered lately that the reason behind Morgan’s unshakable hatred for ten Hag who has transformed Man United so far this season – winning them the Carabao cup last month.

Guess what, the former Arsenal legend hates the former Ajax boss for kicking acclaimed Greatest of All Time (GOAT), Cristiano Ronaldo out of his squad and replacing the five times Ballon D’Or winner with under-performing Wout Weghorst.
I have personally followed some of his tweets in which Morgan call out ten Hag, and they all came just after Man United losses and Ronaldo scores for his new club in Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo continues fine form at Al-Nassr
Al-Nassr defeated Al-Adalah 5-0 on Tuesday, but the Saudi giants remain one point behind league leaders Al-Ittihad despite Cristiano Ronaldo’s two goals.
Erik ten Hag’s selection of Wout Weghorst to replace Cristiano Ronaldo has been criticized by Piers Morgan as “one of the worst in football history”.
Following Al-Nassr’s5-0victory at Al-Adalah on Tuesday, Ronaldo scored a brace in the broadcaster’s damning and dubious verdict.
Prior to Ayman Yahya of Saudi Arabia completing the scoring, Brazilian playmaker Talisca also scored twice.
While Weghorst has yet to score for Manchester United in the Premier League, Ronaldo has 11 goals in just nine Saudi Pro League games for Al-Nassr.
As a result, Ronaldo’s biggest supporter Morgan thinks Ten Hag erred in judgment.
Morgan tweeted after Ronaldo’s goal made it 3-0 for Al-Nassr: “Two more goals for Cristiano so far tonight, including this superb one which once again suggests Ten Hag’s decision to dump him for Wout Weghorst was one of the worst in football history.”

After criticizing the United manager, the club hierarchy, and a number of former employees in a sensational interview with Morgan in November, Ronaldo was fired by Ten Hag. In January, he finished a free transfer to the Saudi club Al-Nassr.
Morgan may disagree, but Ten Hag had a reason for firing Ronaldo. In addition to that interview, Ronaldo declined to play against Tottenham in the Premier League that same month and even left Old Trafford before United’s 2-0 victory was over.
Meanwhile, Man United have the chance to redeem their image after losing so miserably to Newcastle United last Sunday St. James Park as they face another tricky opponent Brentford FC who defeated them 4-0 at home.
Do you think ten Hag should find a way to resolve his issues with Ronaldo or he was right to let him go.
