'Everything ⁦Cristiano Ronaldo told me has been proven correct' - Piers Morgan takes fresh swipe at Erik ten Hag & slams Man Utd for 'pathetic' stand against media criticism

The Red Devils banned four media outlets from attending Ten Hag's press conference ahead of their encounter against Chelsea following reports of dressing room unrest in the wake of their latest defeat to Newcastle United at St. James' Park last weekend.

Morgan, who has never shied away from criticising the Dutch manager for the treatment he handed out to Ronaldo before hisexplosive interviewthat saw him leave Old Trafford prematurely, did not pass up a fresh opportunity to slam the 53-year-old.

Morgan tweeted: "REMINDER: Everything ⁦@Cristiano told me a year ago about Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag has been proven correct."

Soon after he added another tweet that read: "Pathetic. You can pull this stunt when you’re the greatest manager of all time like Sir Alex, but to do it when you’re as bad as Ten Hag and the journalists are accurately reporting how bad you are, is laughable."

The Arsenal fan even went on to urge other journalists to refrain from covering Ten Hag in another tweet: "WTF? I hope every other journalist now boycotts this press conference in solidarity with their colleagues. And yes, I’d say exactly the same if Arsenal behaved like this."

Before leaving United Ronaldo claimed that he had "no respect" for Ten Hag. He even insisted that there were "some things inside that don’t help (us) reach the top level " which was perceived as a direct reference to the coach's methods that were holding the team back. United are currently struggling in seventh, nine point adrift of Arsenal at the Premier League summit.

Ten Hag is in dire need of a win against Chelsea on Wednesday at Old Trafford. It will be a tall order for a beleaguered United side that have lost to every side they have faced in the top half of the table so far this season.
