Morgan points to ten Hag’s Bayer exit after Ronaldo training criticism

Piers Morgan has defended Cristiano Ronaldo after former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag criticised the Portugal forward’s work in training.

In a recent interview, ten Hag discussed what he considered to be Ronaldo’s poor performances during training at the English club. Morgan responded by highlighting the Dutch coach’s own difficult spell in management, describing him as “this useless coach”.

Ten Hag has not worked as a manager since leaving Bayer. The 56-year-old has instead been technical director of Dutch club Twente since February 2026.
