Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag is going through his roughest phase in charge of the club. The team has struggled to get the desired results as all the blame landed on the manager. TV host Piers Morgan, amongst other United fans, recently jumped in to take a shot at the Dutchman. In his latest post on X, Morgan labeled the manager a clown while claiming Cristiano was right about him.

Things have taken a u-turn after the way Erik Ten Hag started the season. The manager has reportedly lost the dressing room, with multiple players believing he is not the right man for the job. Adding fuel to the fire, Morgan lashed out his observations. 

Piers Morgan slams Erik Ten Hag

TV personality Piers Morgan has not shied away from taking shots at Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag since Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure from the club. Cristiano slammed the Dutchman during his time at the club in an interview with Morgan. Following the interview, the club quickly acted as they parted ways, with the player following his comments against the manager.

Significantly, the ongoing season has seen Erik ten Hag fail to get the desired results with Manchester United. The side is currently placed 7th in the Premier League standings and is on the verge of getting knocked from the Champions League group stages. With things not going as planned for Ten Hag, Piers Morgan capitalized on the opportunity to take a dig at the manager.

In his most recent X post, Morgan referred to the Dutchman as a clown, asserting that he had yet to be terminated.

He followed it up, claiming, “REMINDER: Everything ⁦Cristiano⁩ told me a year ago about Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag has been proven correct.”

Things have allegedly turned from bad to worse for Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag. According to media reports, the Dutchman has lost more than 50% of the dressing room, with players unhappy with how the manager handled the situations at the club.

The former Ajax manager already has a troublesome situation, with certain players disagreeing with his methods. The season has seen the Dutchman freeze out Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho from his squad. To sum up, it is a decision that disheartened players within the team.

Moreover, it will be interesting to see if the manager can turn things around and win the dressing room back. The clock is running out for Ten Hag, with the situation turning haywire. If the manager cannot get United back on track, the Glazers could show him the way out in the coming weeks.
