The scandals won’t die down. Piers Morgan accused Ten Hag of lying about Ronaldo
Well-known British television presenter Piers Morgan launched a furious attack on former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, accusing the Dutch coach of distorting the truth about Cristiano Ronaldo.
Details: The journalist’s fierce reaction was sparked by recent comments from the former Red Devils boss, who accused the Portuguese striker of poor preparation and claimed that he had “let the team down” by allegedly urging his teammates to “save their legs” during training. In response to the accusations, Morgan published an emotional post on the social network X, categorically rejecting the coach’s claims:
“What? This is a disgusting travesty of the truth.”
The media personality stressed that the unprecedented work ethic and fanatical commitment of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner are well known throughout the football world, while Ten Hag’s remarks were merely an attempt to shift the blame for his own sporting failures at Old Trafford. The war of words immediately sent shockwaves through the English sports media, reminding fans of the dramatic events of two years ago.
It is worth noting that Piers Morgan’s explosive interview in late 2022 ultimately brought Cristiano Ronaldo’s Manchester United career to an end. During that conversation, the star forward openly stated that he had no respect for the Dutch manager and criticized the club’s infrastructure. The parties subsequently agreed to terminate his contract with the Red Devils, and he continued his career with Saudi club Al-Nassr.
