Piers Morgan has ridiculed Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag after Cristiano Ronaldo posted a photo of himself and Conor McGregor on Instagram.

The Portuguese football sensation and the UFC superstar were seen sitting next to each other during the Day of Reckoning boxing tournament in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night.

McGregor and Ronaldo chatted and joked during the event, with Anthony Joshua scoring a convincing win over Otto Wallin and Deontay Wilder being beaten by Joseph Parker via unanimous decision.

After the fight night, Ronaldo posted a photo of him and McGregor in hysterics on his social media account, with the Instagram caption: “Best caption wins!”

Morgan, who interviewed the five-time Ballon d’Or winner ahead of his explosive departure from Manchester United in 2022, subsequently took to Instagram to offer his caption, writing: “Remember when Ten Hag said I was the problem in “Manchester United”… .’

It has been well documented that Ronaldo and the Dutch manager fell out in his final days at Old Trafford, with the 38-year-old admitting he has “no respect for Ten Hag”.

“I don’t respect him because he doesn’t respect me,” Ronaldo said, before declaring that he felt betrayed by the coach.

“Some people don’t want me here – not just the coach, but two or three other guys. Not only this year, but also last year.

“Honestly, I shouldn’t say that. But listen, I don’t care. People need to hear the truth. Yes, I feel betrayed.

After a power struggle, Ronaldo was sacked from the club and subsequently went to play for Al-Nasr in the Saudi Pro League.

Meanwhile, Ten Hag led United to their first silverware in six years but admitted he felt like Ronaldo had stabbed him in the back, admitting he did not want to stay at United in his bombshell interview with Morgan.

“We had one conversation in the summer. He came and said: “In seven days I will tell you whether I want to stay.” Then he came back and said: “I want to stay,” said the Dutchman.

“Up until this point (the interview), I hadn’t heard anything. He never told me, “I want to leave.”

“I think the club cannot accept this interview. There will be consequences. By taking this step, he knew the consequences.”

Despite this, questions have been asked about whether the Dutchman is reckless or ruthless in getting rid of Ronaldo, David de Gea and ostracizing Jadon Sancho.

United have endured a torrid start to the Premier League this season, slipping to eighth in the table, and pressure is now mounting on Ten Hag after his side suffered eight defeats this season and crashed out of the Champions League.
