English giants Manchester United ended its six-year-long wait for a competitive title when it won the 2022-23 League Cup, thrashing Newcastle United 2-0 in the Final at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday.

Can’t believe I’m watching a manager & players dancing with joy after winning the Carabao Cup … so embarrassing. 🙈pic.twitter.com/A0HY7ixEoX
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan)Following the conquest, ten Hag was seen dancing with his boys, especially Argentine defender Lisandro Martinez and Brazilian striker Antony, reminding all of the bond the trio share from their days in Ajax, as the video of the same went viral on social media. However, famous English journalist Piers Morgan slammed the Dutchman's celebration.
Hi Piers
So, if it is a 3rd-tier competition, why are the EPL sides allowed to compete? Shouldn't it be limited to the Championship/League One/Two clubs?

Meanwhile, former Indian swashbuckling middle-order batter Yuvraj Singh hopped in and questioned Morgan, "Why is it embarrassing, Piers? R we not supposed to enjoy the moments when we win?"
😂🤦🏾♂️😂
— Tino95 (@tinobest)Morgan replied to the retired Indian cricketer by referencing Ferguson during his glory days and even dubbed the competition 'third tier'. "Hi Legend, given what a mediocre competition the Carabao Cup is, a series of dignified handshakes from Ten Hag would have been more appropriate than riotous dancing… can you imagine Sir Alex ever doing a crazed conga on live TV for winning a 3rd tier trophy?" the Englishman wondered, while fans also came up with their reactions, as they enjoyed the banter between the two.
