When it comes to Piers Morgan and Manchester United number sevens, it’s very much a love/hate relationship.
At the drop of a hat the TV personality will vouch for Cristiano Ronaldo and his greatness, proclaiming him as the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) at the same time Lionel Messi was lifting the World Cup trophy. But his opinion of a previous incumbent of that famous red jersey, David Beckham, is very different indeed.
“A fame-hungry snail with dumb haircuts” was the non-too-flattering description he offered for a player who transcended the sport during his illustrious playing career. "Great to watch a Beckham who can actually play football…” Morgan sniped after Odell Beckham Jr scored a touchdown in last year’s Super Bowl.
