In viral footage captured at the end of this post, the Dutch tactician was unnerved by one of the queries of the journalists before deciding to walk out of the press conference.
The journalist could be heard asking Ten Hag if he could end up finishing the season caught in seventh place – United’s potential worst Premier League finish since 2014.
“Erik, it is a danger you are caught in the seventh place. To be caught below the 7th place in the Premier League would be the worst finish in history for United,” the journalist asked.
“Do you think you can overturn the situation?”
Erik ten Hag was uncomfortable with the line of questioning. Reacting to the question, he said;
”I don’t take comment, take that question. That is not important for this moment.”
Before the last word of his angst-ridden reply, the Dutch angrily yanked himself off the hot seat and stormed out of the press conference room to the dismay of the journalists.
Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth nearly completed a double over Erik ten Hag’s Man United at the Vitality Stadium but were denied a late penalty call after a VAR review.
Solanke had raced the hosts into the lead in the 16th minute before Bruno Fernandes found the equaliser for United in the 31st minute.
Five minutes after Bruno Fernandes’ equaliser Kluivert fired the Cherries into the lead again before a second-half spot-kick goal by Bruno Fernandes saw United draw the game level.
Iraola’s Bournemouth have now wrestled four points from Manchester United this season after humbling the Red Devils with a shock 3-0 win at Old Trafford in the reverse fixture early in the season.
Meanwhile, pressure has tanked up on Erik ten Hag with United winning just one of their last seven Premier League games and are drifting far from the top-four race.
