United lost at West Ham on Saturday and slipped deeper into crisis. There was scorn and ridicule from a CR7 buddy.
WHAT HAPPENED? The English journalist Piers Morgan, who is known to have a good relationship with ex-United star Cristiano Ronaldo, made mocking comments about the current situation of Manchester United and coach Erik ten Hag after the 2-0 defeat at West Ham on Saturday.
WHAT WAS SAID? On X (formerly Twitter), Morgan made fun of the struggling Red Devils and their coach via shared posts and a few comments.
He also used a statistic from his friend Ronaldo: The Portuguese, who initiated his departure from Manchester at the end of 2022 with a critical interview about United and ten Hag at Morgan, had 18 goals in 30 league appearances for the English team in the 2021/22 season Record champion achieved. Ronaldo’s successor Wout Weghorst (on loan from Burnley in the second half of the season and currently active at Hoffenheim) and current number nine Rasmus Höjlund, however, were unable to score a single goal in 31 Premier League games.

WHAT IS THE BACKGROUND? Morgan also shared a post mocking ten Hag as the “biggest turkey of this year’s holidays.” Morgan also noted that United have not scored a goal in four consecutive competitive games for the first time since 1992: “Ten Hag is breaking so many records,” he wrote.
Morgan was also amused by the fact that some United fans left the stadium early during the defeat at West Ham. “You have to feel sorry for United’s supporters: they no longer see a game for the full 90 minutes.”
A LOOK AT THE NUMBERS: The 2-0 defeat at West Ham was United’s eighth defeat of the current Premier League season. After 18 matchdays, the Red Devils are only in eighth place in the table and are already eight points behind fourth place in the Champions League.
In addition, United was last eliminated in the premier class as bottom of the group after the preliminary round.
