Manchester United's decision to sack manager Erik ten Hag has sparked a flurry of reactions from former players and pundits. While Rio Ferdinand expressed surprise at the move, Piers Morgan used the opportunity to claim that Cristiano Ronaldo was right all along about the Dutch coach.
Ten Hag's departure came after a disappointing 2-1 defeat to West Ham United, leaving the Red Devils languishing in 14th place in the Premier League. Despite winning the FA Cup earlier in the year and signing a new contract, Ten Hag was unable to turn the club's fortunes around.
Ferdinand, a United legend, took to social media to voice his surprise at the decision, suggesting that the club may have acted prematurely. However, Morgan, a vocal critic of ten Hag and a staunch defender of Ronaldo, seized the opportunity to reiterate his belief that the Portuguese superstar was correct in his assessment of the manager.
Ronaldo had a highly publicized falling out with ten Hag during his final months at Old Trafford, with the pair clashing over the club's direction. The Portuguese forward's departure came after a controversial interview in which he criticized the manager and the club's hierarchy.
With ten Hag now gone, attention turns to the future of Manchester United. Former striker Ruud van Nistelrooy has been appointed as interim manager while the club searches for a permanent replacement. As the club enters a new era, the question remains: was ten Hag the right man for the job, or was Ronaldo's assessment correct all along?
