“I Pointed Out..”- Samuel Luckhurst Breaks Silence After Getting Banned by Erik ten Hag & Manchester United

Manchester United in recent times has been embroiled in various off-court dramas. The latest incident involves the Red Devils banning several news outlets from attending the Tuesday press conference of Erik ten Hag. Now, one of the affected journalists, Samuel Luckhurst, has finally broken his silence on this controversial decision.

Manchester United has decided to ban Journalists from Sky Sports, ESPN, Manchester Evening News, and The Mirror. The reason behind this drastic move is the belief that these outlets did not allow the club to respond to negative stories published about the team.

Samuel Luckhurst is not happy with the ban

Samuel Luckhurst from Manchester Evening News has spoken about this questionable decision. He recently took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share his frustration, stating, “I pointed out existing and probable dressing problems to #mufc – they banned me.”

The Red Devils and Erik ten Hag were not pleased with these publications reporting on the alleged disputes between players and the coach within the locker room. The manager believes the media should have approached the club before publishing such information.

The ban has sparked widespread discontent among journalists, with Luckhurst and many others speaking out against it. For Luckhurst, this decision by Manchester United is a clear display of contempt for the supporters who rely on these journalists to speak on their behalf. The situation at Manchester United is currently quite concerning. Other than their off-court woes, the team is also struggling on the pitch.
