Morgan was one of the main people to provide a platform for Ronaldo to share his bitter experience under ten Hag. Ronaldo was benched in multiple matches last season, not getting to be a part of the starting eleven. This subsequently led to his frustration becoming clearly evident. The player did not hold back his feelings and walked out of the stadium against Tottenham Hotspurs in one of the Premier League games.
The issue escalated quickly, as Ronaldo never again found his spot in the starting eleven. This eventually led the 5-time Ballon d’Or winner to give that explosive interview to the British journalist. ten Hag, even though acknowledging Ronaldo’s greatness, said that he wasn’t at his best to play in the eleven. On the other hand, even fans were divided, with most of the United ones calling Ronaldo a problem after the interview. However, Morgan is the one who disagrees harshly with this opinion.
