‘That’s what you get!’: Piers Morgan mocks Manchester United after their loss to Arsenal… claiming they hired an ‘arrogant manager’ who forced Ronaldo out and replaced him with Wout Weghorst, a who ‘no one knows’
- Piers Morgan has mocked Manchester United for signing Wout Weghorst on loan
- Morgan said that he had “never heard of the striker” and mocked his name.
- He said Utd’s loss to Arsenal is ‘what you get’ for pushing Ronaldo out the door
Piers Morgan has taken to social media to criticize Manchester United for hiring an “arrogant manager” who forced Cristiano Ronaldo out and mocked the club for replacing the 37-year-old with Wout Weghorst.
Weghorst joined the Red Devils on loan from the Burnley Championship earlier this month and was featured in United’s 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace and their loss to Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.
Morgan mocked United for signing Weghorst, claiming he had never heard of the 30-year-old striker, who struggled to prove himself in the Premier League during the 2021-2022 season.

Morgan took to Twitter to say: “Congratulations Manchester United, that’s what happens when you hire an arrogant manager who disrespects the GOAT so much he leaves, then replaces him with someone I’ve never heard of that sounds like like an Austrian sausage”. .’
The TV mogul shared two accompanying images: one of Ronaldo playing in Manchester United’s home kit earlier this season and another of Weghorst playing in United’s away kit on Sunday.
Morgan’s tweet came shortly after United’s defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Red Devils initially took the lead thanks to a goal from Marcus Rashford, but Bukayo Saka’s equalizing goal and Eddie Nketiah’s brace proved too much for Erik ten Hag’s side.
As a result, Arsenal won the Premier League match 3–2, canceling out goals from Rashford and Lisandro Martínez, and moved five points clear at the top of the table.
Morgan said the result was a direct consequence of Manchester United’s actions, claiming that Ten Hag’s appointment was a mistake, forcing Ronaldo out the door.
Ronaldo parted ways with United after his explosive interview with Morgan and signed for Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo’s departure left a gap in the United front line, which meant that Ten Hag had to sign a new striker to add depth to his team for the rest of the season.
Morgan, who has defended Ronaldo several times, described the 37-year-old as the GOAT.
Morgan’s tweet came after Arsenal beat Manchester United 3-2 at home on Sunday afternoon.
For this reason, the Red Devils signed Weghorst on loan until the end of the 2022-2023 season and gave him his debut against Crystal Palace.
However, questions have been raised about Weghorst, who struggled to prove himself during the 2021-2022 campaign with Burnley.
Burnley fans were understandably disappointed with Weghorst’s contribution during the 2021-2022 campaign, when he recorded just 30 shots on target and missed six great chances.
Furthermore, he only managed to find the back of the net three times before being loaned out.
However, Weghorst is eager to prove himself at Manchester United after being given a second chance in the Premier League.
