Premier League
United have banned four journalists from the press conference due to reports about the coach-player relationship
The defeat at Newcastle plunged United into self-reflection as management did not allow four journalists to miss their pre-Chelsea derby press conference after their report suggested that ten Haag had been distrusted by several players.
A villain is coming. The defeat at St. James’ Park (0-1) against Newcastle last Saturday, which was the tenth of the season in all competitions, opened the bag for Aiolos in the Manchester United camp, with grumbling, gloom and introversion taking center stage again.
The latest tangible evidence is the government’s decision to exclude four journalists from the press conference on Tuesday (12/05) who argued this with their publications in the media in which they work “Several team stars are starting to lose trust in Erik ten Hach.”
In conversation with Kaveh Solekhol from Sky Sports, Samuel Lockhurst from Manchester Evening News, David McDonnell from the Mirror and Rob Dawson from ESPN. These reporters remained outside the interview room in Carrington ahead of the game against Chelsea on Wednesday (12/06, 10:15 p.m., Novasports Premier League, LIVE from Sportish) for his 15th game Premier League.
The order to ban the four members of the press came from the Red Devils’ communications director, Andrew Ward, who in turn said that the journalists “The club was not contacted for comment on the reports prior to their publication.”
“They should have come to us first and not printed articles behind our backs, that’s not right. I think we have a different relationship, they should have come to us first and had a normal and professional conversation first.”, Ten Hach said for his part, defending the administration’s decision.
It should be noted that it is not yet clear whether the ban on the four journalists only applied to today’s or future press conferences. The available reports mention, among other things, that there are several first-class football players. Ten Hach’s tactics in games, but also his very hard training sessions, are strongly questioned.
