Broadcaster Piers Morgan has said he expects Manchester United to have a "terrible" season as Erik ten Hag attempts to deliver results at his new club.

Ten Hag took over after a sixth-place finish last season, and has overseen the arrival of three new players. Tyrell Malacia and Lisandro Martinez have joined from the Eredivisie, with the latter joining at great cost from Ajax, while Christian Eriksen has arrived on a free after a short-term deal at Brentford came to an end.

The future of Cristiano Ronaldo remains a distraction, though, with last season's top scorer linked with an exit and used sparingly in pre-season. Morgan revealed earlier in the summer that he had attempted to convince the forward to leave Old Trafford, but no move has materialised.

"The biggest bunch of overpaid, under-performing wastrels in Premier League history will have another terrible season," Morgan wrote as part of his pre-season predictions for The Sun. "So much expensive talent but so little dedication, commitment or pride in wearing those world-famous shirts.

"New manager Erik ten Hag talks a good game but his transfer business so far has been seriously underwhelming and he will quickly discover his showboating Twitter-obsessed prima donnas just don’t have the right mentality to compete. I doubt they will even make the top six."
