[Saba Sports News] According to the latest reports from English media, Premier League club Manchester United is currently cracking down on staff social media accounts, strictly prohibiting employees from posting unauthorized, private club content to control internal information dissemination. It is reported that United’s senior management found that a significant number of staff with access to the first team often post unapproved behind-the-scenes materials like photos and videos on social platforms. As a globally high-profile football giant, such unreviewed content not only risks leaking sensitive information like training schedules and lineup adjustments but could also harm the club’s unified external image due to inconsistent messaging. However, some employees have opposed this, arguing that sharing work-related content on social media is a point of professional pride. They believe this sharing is positive, showcasing the club’s daily life to the outside world, bringing fans closer to the club, and enhancing team cohesion. They worry that overly strict rules could stifle freedom of expression and affect work motivation.
