Manchester United recently experienced a major security breach when a prankster allegedly bugged their dressing room at Villa Park before their Premier League match against Aston Villa. The hidden device recorded manager Erik ten Hag’s pre-match team talk. The prankster, reportedly a United fan, used the device to listen to the instructions Ten Hag gave his players.
This incident, which has led to an investigation by Aston Villa, raised significant concerns about how someone was able to access the dressing room of such a high-profile club. Fortunately, the breach was not deemed malicious, but it highlights vulnerabilities in security ahead of important matches. United went on to play a goalless draw in the match, adding to their poor start to the season.
Sources suggest the prankster returned to retrieve the bug the day after it was planted. Meanwhile, Ten Hag remains under pressure as Manchester United continue to struggle this season, with scrutiny also directed at his future with the club
