The ongoing watch week saw some interesting stories come out of the Premier League. Manchester United made news off the field as the side banned certain media outlets from their press conference before the game against Chelsea. Ex-United star Gary Neville has now spoken on the debacle claiming the players are trying to get the manager sacked.

The past few weeks saw multiple media outlets claim that Erik ten Hag is losing support within the Manchester United dressing room. However, the Dutchman denied all those claims during his recent press conference while stating journalists should approach United first before publishing any story related to the club.

Gary Neville blasts Manchester United players for targeting Erik ten Hag

Former Manchester United icon Gary Neville was not too pleased with the recent leaks surrounding the club. In fact, he went all in on the players and their entourages for leaking private info to the media. Talking with other pundits on The Overlap, Neville stated. “When I heard these stories coming out, I thought, here we go again, the f**kers. They are at it, they are at it. They’re going to try and get another manager sacked, and another group of players thrown out.”

He then added, “They are trying to get their teammates banished. You know it’s happening you can tell it’s sorta been fed. I thought stop winging, shut your mouths, and work as hard as you can. The day after, come back and do it again, and that’s it.”

Neville surely has a firm opinion on the matter, as managers have failed to deliver for Manchester United as of late. The likes of Ole Gunnar Solskjær and Ralph Ragnick have been sacked by the side for their poor results.

Erik ten Hag comments on media leaks and ban on journalists

Manchester United was left in a state of disarray after multiple media reports surfaced across the internet claiming Erik ten Hag was losing support within the dressing room. However, the Dutchman wasn’t threatened by the reports as he fired back at media outlets for publishing false reports during his press conference before the game against Chelsea.

Ten Hag, during his press conference, stated, “They should have come to us first and not go behind our back printing articles. That is not the right thing. We have a good relationship. They come to us beforehand. We have a debate about it.”

The team, despite the drama, kept things in check on the field. Ten Hag and his men bagged a 2-1 win over Chelsea and will now look to put their focus on their upcoming encounter.
