Ten Hag on banning some journalists from press conferences

Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag on banning some journalists from the press conference ahead of their clash with Chelsea

Transcript

00:00 Eric, is that your answer? Because there's a number of media outlets who are not here today

00:06 because the club weren't given the right of reply over suggestions that

00:11 some of the players are unhappy with you, some are unhappy with the training.

00:17 How do you address that? Because people just don't make things up.

00:25 But they should come to us first and not go around in our back printing articles.

00:35 That's not the right thing. I think we have another relationship.

00:40 And then they should give that to us beforehand.

00:46 We have a normal and professional discussion and debate about it.

00:51 Are you at all concerned that what is being reported, what people are being told,

01:00 that there is truth behind that? Clearly there's an issue with Jadon Sancho,

01:05 which we're all aware of and you've spoken about before.

01:09 But are there issues with other players? I know what you mean about the games,

01:16 but behind the scenes, are there issues?

01:18 No. Of course, there are always in every team players who are less playing,

01:28 less happy, but not different from normal.

01:34 In such tense fields, you need that. They have to wait for the chance and they can come.

01:42 But no, there are no issues.
