Tuesday, September 10, 2024 - British media personality, Piers Morgan has labelled Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag a 'complete idiot' for allegedly not being able to handle top players.
The television star, who previously
branded Ten Hag a ‘clown' for his handling of his friend Cristiano
Ronaldo, which saw United mutually terminate Ronaldo's deal, said he believes
Erik ten Hag has a major flaw holding him back from glory.
'Ten Hag is a complete idiot,' Morgan told
talkSPORT. 'I'm sorry, he is. He has been since he went there, right? He
talks in complete gibberish.
'He's now banging on about Harry Potter or
something. Ten Hag is everything Ronaldo told me he was in that interview,
which led to him leaving United.
'The biggest problem with Ten Hag,
he's like that bossy little school teacher you get who doesn't know how to
handle supreme academic talent.
'So you look at the players he's been
unable to handle at United. Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford.
It's all the top players.
'He can handle the lesser rung. He can
handle the guys he brings in from Ajax who've never been on the big world
stage, but he cannot handle top players.
'I can't believe I'm saying this
because it's a miracle, but they've actually gotten worse than they were last
season.
'So Cristiano Ronaldo, had he stayed
at Manchester United, would have been immeasurably better than any of the
strikers they've currently got as he's proving for Portugal.
'The guy is the greatest that has ever
played the game, the greatest that will ever play the game. That's why he's the
number one scorer. That's why he'll get to a thousand goals.'
Ronaldo is now on 901 career goals
after scoring a late winner in Portugal's 2-1 triumph over Scotland in the
Nations League on Sunday.
