Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, found himself embroiled in controversy as he abruptly exited a press conference following the team’s disappointing 2-2 draw against Bournemouth. The lackluster performance at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday left Ten Hag visibly displeased.
During the press conference, a journalist raised the unsettling prospect that if Manchester United were to finish below seventh place, it would mark the club’s lowest-ever position in the Premier League. This unwelcome reminder appeared to provoke a sharp reaction from the manager.
Ten Hag’s sudden departure from the press conference, triggered by the journalist’s comment, underscored his frustration and reluctance to discuss the matter further. Rising from his seat, he tersely stated, “I don’t comment. That is not important for this moment,” before exiting the room.
