Manchester United faced another “shocking” defeat at home. After their big mid-week win over Chelsea, ten Hag’s men were hoping to get another positive result but were denied by Bournemouth, who thrashed the Red Devils 3-0 at home. Rasmus Hojlund, who was roped in to fill in for Cristiano Ronaldo this season, has failed to operate as the club’s number nine. TV host Piers Morgan, who has been vocal about United’s recent struggles, did not miss the chance to take a dig at the young striker following the team’s defeat.
Hojlund was not the only man on Morgan’s target. The TV host earlier in the day took shots at Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag after the defeat. Morgan has been on the Dutchman’s tail for a while now and hasn’t missed taking a dig at the manager whenever an opportunity presents itself.

Rasmus Hojlund has been a key signing for Manchester United this season. The Red Devils went out of their way and paid a hefty $90 million for the twenty-year-old Danish striker. However, the player has failed to justify his massive price tag and has gone goalless in his last twelve Premier League outings.
Morgan, in his latest tweet, took a sly dig at the striker on his official X handle. The TV host wrote, “REMINDER: Erik Ten Hag drove out the greatest striker in history @Cristiano and replaced him with this guy who’s scored 0 goals in 12 Premier League games.”
