Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has
reportedly introduced strict regulations on his
players’ use of social media.
The Independent reports that Jose Mourinho is
unhappy with how much his players share online
and is keen to restrict the flow of information out
of the club at certain times.
The Portuguese boss is understood to have
brought in new rules on what his squad can and
cannot post on social media platforms such as
Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram.
United’s players are now forbidden from
publishing any pictures from training and
anything at all from the 48 hours leading up to a
game, especially from the team bus on the way
to matches.
The initiative is thought to be part of Mourinho’s
plan to whip his squad back into title-winning
shape after suggesting that they have allowed
standards to slip since the retirement of Sir Alex
Ferguson in 2013.
Mourinho has reportedly been increasingly
frustrated with his players’ use of social media
and the likes of Luke Shaw have already been
reprimanded this season after posting footage of
himself training at home – a video the manager
thought painted the club in a bad light.
Mourinho’s policy has been communicated to all
players and their social media teams, and while it
is not always adhered to, it is part of the
manager’s campaign to change the mentality
among the squad that he believes has gone soft
in the last few seasons.
