Erik ten Hag and his club, Manchester United FC have been playing below the standards that he and the fans of the club would have thought of this 2023-24 season. The players have been playing very badly and have shown no signs of improvement, even the new signings of Andre Onana, Rasmus Hojlund, and Mason Mount have made no impact as of yet and Piers Morgan seems to enjoy this.
Famous Television personality, writer, journalist, and broadcaster Piers Morgan is from England. With the tabloid The Sun, he started his career in 1988. He is a huge fan and friend of soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo and also played a big role in Ronaldo’s exit from Manchester United as he was the one who interviewed the Portgueuse legend which led to his exit in January 2023.

However, Piers has seen criticizing Manchester United and particularly Erik ten Hag a lot due to the way he treated his friend and soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo. Also, recently he posted on X with the caption, “Erik Ten Hag drove out the greatest striker in history @Cristiano and replaced him with this guy who’s scored 0 goals in 12 Premier League games.”
This was a clear dig at Erik Ten Hag and his $92 million signing Rasmus Hojlund as he has failed to score a single goal in the English Premier League this 2023-24 season so far. It remains to be seen how Rasmus answers back to his critics and Piers.
Rasmus Hojlund is the joint-top goal scorer in the UCL this 2023-24 season
Rasmus Hojlund’s start to the EPL has not been that great having not scored a single game in 12 matches in the English Premier League. However, on the contrary, Rasmus has 5 goals in the most decorated completion, the UEFA Champions League. He has performed over the standards in the UCL as nobody would have thought that of him.
Rasmus is the joint-top goalscorer in the UCL with 5 goals to his name alongside Erling Haaland of Manchester City FC and Alvaro Morata of Athletco Madrid CF. Although this is his first season with the English club, he has done justice to his name in the UCL and fans seem to be excited with what he has to offer shortly.
In this season’s Champions League after 4 games, Rasmus Hojlund has scored the joint-most goals (5) and has the second-best non-penalty expected goals (3.4npxG).

Rasmus Hojlund was signed by Manchester United FC for $92 million in the 2023-24 summer transfer window as he is tipped to be a great goalscorer as he develops further ahead. He has a very huge ceiling for him and if he continues to work hard he will soon be among the greats in the league.
It remains to be seen how Rasmus and his current club, Manchester United perform in the remainder of the 2023-24 season. With crucial games coming up ahead in the EPL and the UCL, Rasmus will be looking to make a mark and prove his point to fans and critics around the world.
