KABOOM!!! Mourinho bans Manchester United players from social media

Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho has enforced a social media ban on his players in order to limit the extent of information going out of the first-team squad.

Various United players have hit the headlines for posts made on their various social media accounts this season.

And the Portuguese has grown increasingly frustrated with the tendency of his players to turn to social media, particularly when recovering from high-profile injuries.

Defender Luke Shaw drew his manager’s anger when he posted a photograph of him training away from the club as he looked to make a comeback from a leg injury, and Chris Smalling recently posted a video of himself running under reduced weight in a hydrotherapy pool as he looks to return after a knee injured picked up when training with England in March.

As a result all this, the former Real Madrid boss has taken the step to stop his players from sharing any snaps from training or recovery sessions and has also restricted their use of any social media service48 hours before their matches.

It is believed that Smalling’s recent video brought about the ban.

“It’s about the philosophy and mentality around them,” he said of Jones and Smalling after they were ruled out of last week’s Manchester derby.

“Cautious. Cautious. Cautious. Just a cautious approach. It’s a profile. It’s the philosophy of work. Just that.”
