Manchester United left people astounded by their decision to bar several media outlets from their latest press conference. Manager Erik Ten Hag, during the press conference, claimed that the media outlets should consult the club initially before publishing anything for the public. However, the manager’s actions have not gone down well with TV personality Piers Morgan, who slammed the manager, calling his actions laughable.

While critics might have slammed the club for banning journalists, Ten Hag feels nothing is wrong with the club’s decision. During his press conference, the Manchester United boss, before the game against Chelsea, claimed they banned the media outlets for publishing fake news and should have cross-checked with the club first. Tough times for Ten Hag!

Piers Morgan slams Erik Ten Hag following a ban on journalists

Morgan wrote, “Pathetic. You can pull this stunt when you’re the greatest manager of all time, like Sir Alex, but to do it when you’re as bad as Ten Hag, and the journalists are accurately reporting how bad you are, is laughable.”

Earlier in the day, Morgan had gone all in on the Dutchman admitting he was a ‘clown’, and it was a surprise how the Manchester United board had not removed him from his position. Morgan added that Cristiano was right about everything he said about Ten Hag during his uncensored interview.
