Piers Morgan has reacted on social media after former Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo was dropped by Portugal for their World Cup showdown with Switzerland on Tuesday night.
Ronaldo, 37, departed Old Trafford for the second time last month as the dust continues to settle on his explosive interview with Morgan in which the five-time Ballon d'Or winner criticised the club, their manager Erik ten Hag and key figures associated with United past and present. He then found himself in hot water at the Qatar showcase.
Starting all three Group H matches, Ronaldo irked Portugal manager, Fernando Santos, for venting his frustrations when taken off against South Korea and paid the price when he was omitted from the starting line-up with last-16 progression on the line against Switzerland. It has subsequently sent social media into meltdown.
