“Manchester United Team Which Can’t Hit a Barn Door” – After Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr Hattrick, Piers Morgan Tears Erik Ten Hag to Shreds For Deeming CR7 ‘Surplus’

Cristiano Ronaldo is pulling off wonders at Al Nassr. In his previous match against Al Fateh, Ronaldo went on to score a hattrick and provided one assist. Sadio Mane also registered his name on the scoresheet scoring 2 goals. Ronaldo’s former home in Manchester, however, seems to be in deep waters in the Premier League.

Piers Morgan had some harsh remarks for Erik Ten Hag and Manchester United, who have only scored 1 goal in their two opening fixtures. It seems the United squad is having a tough time employing Ten Hag’s tactics. Rasmus Hojlund, their latest buy, waits for his debut as he recovers from injury.

Piers Morgan calls Ten Hag a ‘genius’ after Cristiano Ronaldo hattrick

Cristiano Ronaldo’s controversial interview with Piers Morgan still resonates with the United fans. Ronaldo called out the club’s management and stated that Manchester United is not the club it once was. A few days after the interview surfaced, the player and the club parted ways by mutual consent. In a recent X post, Morgan hits back at the Dutch manager, who had a different striker in his plans.

“As ⁦Cristiano scores 3 goals & provides a brilliant assist for Mane, whilst looking fitter & hungrier than ever, a reminder that Erik ‘I’m a genius, just ask me’ Ten Hag deemed him surplus to requirements for a Manchester United team,” said Morgan in a tweet.

Ten Hag wasn’t a fan of Ronaldo during his days at Old Trafford. He constantly dropped Ronaldo and chose to use him mostly as a substitute. This was another reason Ronaldo was left fuming at the gaffer. Cristiano Ronaldo not being one of the main starters at that time still managed to score 19 goals in 40 games

Morgan also believes that this Red Devils team ‘can’t even hit a barn door.’ Indeed, Manchester United’s goal-scoring record has been very poor. The injuries have also added further pressure on the team. Let’s have a look at what’s going on at the Mancunian club.

Ten Hag’s United only looks good on paper

Erik Ten Hag’s transitional play tactics are currently not working out. Marcus Rashford has largely been invisible and the England international is yet to score a goal. Bruno Fernandes looks good but he still needs to time his headers right. The Portuguese international missed a clear opportunity with a missed header against Spurs. During the match, the team played well holding possession in the first half but lost the plot in the second half completely and Spurs went on to win the match 2-0.

Luke Shaw is rumored to be out for the next 2 months citing a leg injury. Mason Mount too sustained an injury in the match against Tottenham. Mount is set to return after the international break in September. Diogo Dalot will be Shaw’s replacement but he’s not as creative in passing as the English defender. It’s very early in the league but United needs to clinch the easy points as they look to face Arsenal away at Emirates Stadium in Game Week 4. Manchester United’s next match is at Old Trafford against Nottingham Forest.
