Coach Ten Hag was asked if he was concerned about a series of reports detailing discontent at the club. The Dutch strategist denied that the team’s dressing room was unstable.

Ten Hag denied there was turmoil surrounding the club.

Ten Hag shared the view of Communications Director Andrew Ward, who informed the four journalists that they would not be allowed into Carrington.
Ward does not have a good relationship with the British media, because many other journalists have accused Man Utd’s communications director of preventing them from asking negative questions to the team during a press conference.
