Manchester
United manager Jose Mourinho has reportedly introduced strict regulations on
his players' use of social media. The
Independent reports that 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.
United sit
fifth in the Premier League table, one point off the top four with only four
games remaining.
