Piers Morgan attempted to defend Cristiano Ronaldo after he took aim at Erik ten Hag - but was left with egg on his face.
Manchester United megastar Ronaldo hit out at Red Devils manager Ten Hag during an explosive interview with Morgan, declaring that he has no "respect" for his boss and feels "betrayed," which surely spells the end of his tumultuous second stint at Old Trafford. Fans and pundits alike have criticised the 37-year-old striker for his comments, prompting Morgan to haplessly leap to his defence.
The presenter says that he was approached by an unhappy Ronaldo - who still wants to leave United - to conduct the interview, which airs later this week. "There's one insight which comes out from the interview which is very glaring about Ten Hag's way of handling Ronaldo which has been so disrespectful," Morgan began on talkSPORT after snippets were released on Sunday evening.
