[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, during the Premier League match between Aston Villa and Manchester United that ended in a 0-0 draw, Manchester United’s dressing room was eavesdropped on by a prankster. Reports state that a prankster deceived stadium security personnel and infiltrated Manchester United’s dressing room two days before the match to install listening devices and recorded Erik ten Hag’s conversations with the team. A source said: “This is a shocking security breach, and we will question this matter; fortunately, there was nothing sinister about it. It was just a prank by someone who is actually a Manchester United fan; he foolishly wanted to hear what was being said in the dressing room.” The media listened to this recording but stated they would not disclose its contents; however, it was clear that Ten Hag was giving instructions to the team and players. It is reported that the listening device used by the prankster was a modified phone that could be activated via another phone; he taped it in an inconspicuous place and would turn on the recording when he knew the head coach was talking.
