According to reports Manchester United have ordered their players not to deal with the media ahead of Monday night's derby at Manchester City.
The Manchester Evening News claims manager Sir Alex Ferguson wants his side to focus solely on a match which could determine the fate of the Premier League title.
With that in mind, Ferguson has reportedly told his squad not to talk about the match at the Etihad Stadium.
Requests for player interviews have been declined as the Reds look to recover from Sunday’s 4-4 home draw against Everton, a result which has given City renewed hope of becoming league champions for the first time since 1968.
