He should talk to Ronaldo, apparently he knows a guy...
Apparently Ronaldo had a 50% off coupon for next visit that he sold to Morgan. That's how they first met (probably).

My dad used to tell my girlfriends that they'd always have to accept being my 2nd love to Ronaldo but Jesus Christ, Piers is something else.
Ronaldo's definitely shown his hand too early. And a Seven never wins against Eight Ten High card.
the funny thing is he used to write things like this:
now he's **** Morgan. You can't help but laugh.
About as deluded as people who thought Rooney was better than Ronaldo. So yeah a lot actually
Wouldn’t call them idiots but fully agree, my mate and I just looked at each other in a bit of disgust when we were at the Sheriff game and Viva Ronaldo rang out despite some people booing him. He was pretty much done to me after the Spurs incident and our fans singing his name made me feel like we were a bit lame.
He wants to interview Musk next. His simping is about to go all the way up to 11 to pull that one off!Piers is the biggest **** I've seen, it's embarrassing
Personally for me, he absolutely is because Iam a united Fan and Rooney has done a hell of a lot more to Utd than Ronaldo ever will be(and many of my friends who are also united fans agree with this, also i personally wont Rooney in the same category as Scholes because of his Chelsea dibacle). Ronaldo achieved 10 times more for Real Madrid than United and if his fans think otherwise then its their view just like mine doesn't mean I will call them deluded as everyone has their own perspective.
Erm. What?
He has Sir Alex's unique awkward goal celebration technique as well.
So to clarify....Rooney was a better player than Ronaldo?
Eh we'll be on the break in both so Rashford is an okay option as a 9 in either game if Martial can't go a full 90.
I think we need a striker for when Martial is unavailable against the teams where we dominate the ball more.
I hope ETH is not affected by this Ronaldo saga at all and is enjoying his break now to come back stronger to rebuild the team.
Keep the focus on the present and the future. Ronaldo is now firmly on the past. It was a catastrophic mistake to bring him back last year. He is the biggest ego and divisive figure football ever known.

I doubt he gives a feck what a has been he's already sidelined thinks
I really want him to deliver the end of season address at the last home game.
ETH has been calm and controlled. SAF would have kicked Ronaldo back to Portugal if he had refused to come on. I remember Gary Neville or Rio saying that SAF made him cry after a CL match in Portugal.
Scholes, as much as I love him, once refused to play. Completely different circumstances though neither player can be excused obviously. But the point is SAF didn’t boot Paul out then. And he had a much firmer grip on the club than ten Hag does now.
Piers doesn't care about Ronaldo. Just wants to get clicks & reactions. He'll say anything to get there. That his job FFS!
It was a league cup match and he refused to play and told the manager privately. He got fined and told if he ever did it he was gone. He apologised too.
Ronaldo did it twice and then in public slated his previous manager and his current manager. It's ridiculous to quote the Scholes incident.
I’m not speaking to the interview. Just the circumstances EtH is dealing with and that booting Ronaldo out of the club straight after his refusal to come on wasn’t as straightforward a decision as some were saying.
Really hope that ETH will consider Charlie Mcneil and take him to the training camp and use him in the friendly matches
I think it's no more complicated than he wanted to give Ronaldo a chance, and also I think he saw a personal challenge to see if he could get something from him.
Time for Erik to start his work at the club without the distractions.
SAF was a subtler manager than his legend says. Scholes reaction was so uncharacteristic that Fergie probably saw it as caused by an error he'd made, rather than Scholes. That's why he didn't take it out on him beyond the basic discipline.
.
I don't think ETH has misjudged or mismanaged Ronaldo, that's the difference here.

He’s probably won the biggest player power battle he’ll ever have to manage.
A man goes on Piers Morgan and says I'm in danger?
No I am the danger
Incredible result for him. Shows his strength and current standing at the club. Also means he now gets the second half of the season with much less drama.
I just can see any angle where he did wrong. He handled it really well, could have quite easily publicly criticised the player but he kept everything toned and professional. It also sets a demand for the rest of the squad even the players with the biggest profile will be benched, substituted and suspended if they don't perform.
Football is already a really privileged game for those who make domestic championship / premier league level. There are hundreds of thousands and probably worldwide millions who don't make it and there are players today who don't humble themselves by assuming they without the right application should play. Credit to the club where credit is due if Woodward was here Ronaldo could have got an extension.
Erik has dealt with Ronaldo in the same way Ferguson dealt with Roy Keanes departure from the club. A case of moving on now and timely reminder that no one player is bigger than the club or manager.
No doubt who the boss is now, if there ever was any.
Showed ronaldo who's boss.
Big balls. Lovely stuff.
I think that is probably fair, but the manager made mistakes along the way too. He shouldn't have backed Ronaldo as much as he did post-Chelsea.
Of course he had to. It showed CR for who he truly is, despite several olive branches (on a sporting and human level) being shown to him.
Now he can really get to work without any unnecessary distractions.
