Piers Morgan has launched a scathing attack on Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag - branding him an "arrogant, deluded twerp" for his treatment of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ten Hag opted to leave Ronaldo out of his starting lineup to face Manchester City on Sunday - a game which United lost 6-3. United were four goals down at half-time with Ronaldo staring on with a vacant expression on his face, alongside fellow surprise substitute Casemiro.
Between them the pair have 10 Champions League winners medals, but it was only Casemiro who got on the field as Ronaldo was left sat on the bench the entire afternoon. Speaking after the match, Ten Hag insisted his decision not to bring on Ronaldo was purely "out of respect for his career", though Morgan has now slammed the United manager for his actions.
