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.
