JAKARTA - Manchester United are in great security trouble after learning that their dressing room when they travel to Aston Villa headquarters, October 6, 2024, was tapped.

Rekaman pembicaraan Erik ten Hag dan timnya pun sebelum pertandingan terbocor.

Perpetrators tricked Villa Park staff and then sneaked in and installed a hidden device in Manchester United's dressing room.

"This is a shocking security breach and some serious questions will be asked about how this happened. Fortunately, nothing bad in this incident."

"It's just a fad, which is actually a Manchester United fan. He's being ridiculous and wants to hear what he's saying in the dressing room."

"However, it will definitely be a cause of concern about how they managed to get into the dressing room at one of the Premier League's biggest clubs just days before the game," said a source of The Sun.

The Sun has heard the footage, but chose not to publish details.

However, The Sun was able to reveal Ten Hag's instructions to the team and each player was heard very clearly.

The Sun understands that the messster used a phone call from China that had a setting where the microphone could be activated by calling from another device.

He had posted the phone somewhere invisible in Manchester United's dressing room and just called him when he found out Ten Hag was going to be there.

This isn't the first time a pranker in football has used a hidden device to cause trouble.

High Vigilance

The source of The Sun claimed that the perpetrator in charge even dared to take the device on Monday, October 7, 2024, after the match was over.

This is a similar action at the Match of the Day studio that was bombarded with pornographic sounds during a live broadcast in 2023. At that time the perpetrator could be identified, namely Daniel 'Jarvo' Jarvis.

The allegation that the prankman was a fan of The Red Devils refers to the absence of similar footage in Aston Villa's dressing room.

Previously, in May 2024, Manchester United was targeted by YouTuber Lizwani. He managed to sneak into the Red Devils team's bus after losing 0-4 against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Lizwani bravely took the seat before she was removed.

The violation caused top Premier League officials to send warnings to 20 top clubs to be aware of similar actions.

"These guys are mostly harmless and do it for fun. They do it to get a lot of clicks on YouTube and make their fans laugh. They don't mean to make trouble or hurt anyone," said The Sun source again.

Meanwhile, in 2016, Old Trafford experienced fear of bombs after a mock device planted by a security company was found in a toilet.

This caused the Premier League match between Manchester United and Bournemouth to be canceled.
