Piers Morgan slams Erik ten Hag for trying to replace Cristiano Ronaldo with Wout Weghorst

Cristiano Ronaldo fan and British broadcaster Piers Morgan took to Twitter following the Portuguese superstar’s impressive brace against Al-Adalah. The Arsenal supporter hailed Ronaldo for his performance and had a go at Erik ten Hag for signing Wout Weghorst as the legendary No. 7's replacement.

He wrote afer Al-Nassr’s win on Tuesday:

“Two more goals for @Cristiano so far tonight, including this superb one which once again suggests Ten Hag’s decision to dump him for Wout Weghorst was one of the worst in football history.”
