Piers Morgan calls Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag a 'clown' after Cristiano Ronaldo comments

Piers Morgan has branded Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag a clown after the Dutchman claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo needed to be in better shape while at the club.

Ronaldo left Old Trafford under a storm prior to the World Cup after conducting an interview with Morgan on the presenter's TalkTV show. During the conversation, the 37-year-old criticised Ten Hag as well as the Glazers, the club in general and former teammates Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville who he deemed unfairly targeted him.

United came to the decision to part ways with the Portuguese forward making Ronaldo the only free agent at the tournament in Qatar. The Reds are currently in Spain undergoing warm weather training as they prepare for the return of competitive domestic football.
