Erik ten Hag has banned three newspapers from asking questions at his Friday press conference after criticising the ‘disrespectful’ nature of their reporting following Manchester United’s penalty shootout win over Coventry in the FA Cup.

The Dutchman would not hear questions from The Sun, Manchester Evening News and The Mirror in the build-up to Manchester United’s clash with Burnley on Saturday.

Ten Hag is under scrutiny ahead of the summer with new part owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS weighing up whether to sack the Red Devils boss after another disappointing campaign at Old Trafford.

United edged past Championship club Coventry to reach the FA Cup final last weekend, squandering a 3-0 lead before eventually making it through on penalties at Wembley.

Coventry thought they had won it in the dying stages of extra time before their late goal was disallowed for a marginal offside in the build-up.
