Piers Morgan has demanded Wayne Rooney "pipes down" about Cristiano Ronaldo and accused the England legend of "endless jealous b****ing" about the Manchester United striker.
The former Good Morning Britain host was responding to Rooney advising Erik ten Hag to drop Ronaldo from the starting XI for Monday night's Premier League clash with Liverpool. The 36-year-old suspects his former Old Trafford teammate is lacking match fitness and the "energy" required to start the crucial North-West derby.
Rooney's latest comments came after he instructed the Red Devils to offload Ronaldo, 37, earlier this summer, following the Portugal captain's bombshell announcement that he would like to leave. The remarks have been met with a furious response from Morgan, who retaliated by declaring Ronaldo outshined Rooney in his playing days in terms of "talent, success and fitness".
