Manchester United Dressing Room Reportedly Bugged Before Match Against Aston Villa
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag’s half-time team talk at Aston Villa has reportedly been recorded.
According to The Sun, United played to a 0-0 draw at Villa Park on Sunday, and it is reported that Ten Hag’s halftime words were secretly recorded.
Ten Hag’s team talk and instructions to players were audible in the recording.
“This is a shocking breach of security and some serious questions will be asked as to how this was allowed to happen,” a source was quoted by The Sun.
“Fortunately, there was nothing sinister to this incident. It was just a prankster, who’s a United fan, being silly and wanting to hear what was said inside those four walls.
“But it will be a cause for concern about how they managed to get inside a changing room at one of the Premier League’s biggest clubs just days before a match.”
The individual in question allegedly set up and managed the recording device in the away dressing room using their mobile phone. The person retrieved the device the next day.
Aston Villa are now investigating the incident.
