Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has expressed his disapproval of the media’s approach to reporting on the club. Ten Hag highlighted the importance of direct communication and the existing good relationship between the club and the media, which he feels should involve prior discussion and debate before publishing articles.
Ten Hag’s stance on media relations was clear as he stated that journalists should not go behind the club’s back. He emphasized that the correct protocol involves coming to the club first, which would allow for a debate on the matter at hand. This approach, according to Ten Hag, is integral to maintaining the positive rapport that currently exists between Manchester United and the media representatives.
The Dutch manager, who is at the helm of one of the world’s most high-profile football clubs, has been navigating the intense scrutiny that comes with managing Manchester United. His comments reflect a desire for a more transparent and respectful exchange between the club and those reporting on its activities.
