Piers Morgan Places £10,000 Bet on Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United Success
English broadcaster Piers Morgan has taken to social media to make a bold prediction about Manchester United’s future under manager Erik ten Hag. Morgan, a self-proclaimed huge fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, has bet £10,000 that Ten Hag will win either the Champions League or the Premier League during his time at the club.
Morgan’s bold statement comes after Ten Hag responded to Ronaldo’s recent criticism of his leadership style. Ronaldo, who left Manchester United for Al Nassr in 2022, had criticized Ten Hag’s mentality, saying he should not publicly state that the club is incapable of competing for major trophies.
Ten Hag dismissed Ronaldo’s comments, attributing them to the distance between the Portuguese star and the day-to-day realities of Manchester United. However, Morgan took a different view, using his Twitter handle to make a public bet.
“Ronaldo won 3 Premier League trophies and a Champions League trophy at United,” Morgan wrote. “I’ll bet Ten Hag £10,000 to charity he never wins either at United.”
Morgan’s bet is a clear indication of his confidence in Ten Hag’s ability to lead Manchester United to success. However, the Dutch manager will need to deliver on the pitch to prove his doubters wrong.
The bet has sparked a lively debate among Manchester United fans, with some backing Ten Hag to prove his doubters wrong, while others believe that Ronaldo’s criticism was justified. One thing is certain, however – the stakes are high, and the outcome will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike.
As the debate continues to rage on, one thing is clear: Piers Morgan is backing Erik ten Hag to deliver on his promise, and the Manchester United manager will be hoping to prove his doubters wrong.
