Manchester United have banned several high-profile journalists from attending Erik ten Hag's press conference on Tuesday and it's something that Sir Alex Ferguson once tried to do before.
Sky Sports chief reporter Kaveh Solekhol, the Manchester Evening News' chief United correspondent Samuel Luckhurst, The Mirror's David McDonnell and Rob Dawson of ESPN have all been refused entry to the media briefing at their Carrington training base ahead of Wednesday's game against Chelsea.
The order came from Andrew Ward, United's communications director, over what the club claimed was the reporters' failure to contact them for comment before publication of stories.
