It was recently reported that Ten Hag had two matches to secure his position, with the first being the draw against Aston Villa on Sunday.
The Sun revealed that a football prankster managed to infiltrate the dressing room at Villa Park and covertly record one of Ten Hag’s speeches.
Although the exact details of the team talk have not been disclosed, the newspaper claims that instructions to the players could be heard 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 told The Sun.
‘Fortunately, there was nothing sinister to this incident. It was just a prankster, who’s actually a United fan.
‘[He was] being silly and wanting to hear what was said inside those four walls.
‘But it will definitely 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.’
It is believed that the football prankster hid the recording device using sticky tape, positioning it out of view and activating it just before Ten Hag began speaking.
He later returned on Monday, the day after the game, to retrieve the device.
As for Manchester United, their next match is scheduled for October 19, when they face Brentford at Old Trafford following the international break.
So far this season, under Ten Hag’s leadership, United have managed only two wins from their first seven Premier League matches.
