English broadcaster, Piers Morgan has bet his £10,000 on Erik ten Hag winning either the Champions League or the Premier League during his time at Manchester United.
Morgan took a dig at Ten Hag for his response to Cristiano Ronaldo’s remarks about the Dutchman’s mentality.
Ronaldo left Manchester United for Al Nassr in 2022 following a series of high-profile disagreements involving him and Ten Hag.
Most recently, appearing on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, Ronaldo had criticized Ten Hag’s leadership.
Ronaldo believes Ten Hag should not publicly state that Manchester United is incapable of competing for the Premier League or the UEFA Champions League, even if that may be true.
Ten Hag responded by dismissing the Portuguese’s comments, attributing them to the distance between Ronaldo, now playing in Saudi Arabia, and the day-to-day realities of Manchester United.
And taking to his X handle, Morgan, who is a huge Ronaldo fan, wrote: ”Ronaldo won 3 Premier League trophies and a Champions League trophy at United.
“I’ll bet Ten Hag £10,000 to charity he never wins either at United.”
