Erik ten Hag stormed out of his post-match press conference following Manchester United’s draw with Bournemouth.
The Red Devils’ winless run in the Premier League extended to four league games after being held 2-2 by Andoni Iraola’s side.
The result ensured United remained seventh in the table after dropping a position following Newcastle’s 4-0 win over Tottenham earlier in the day.
A finish below seventh would see the club endure their worst campaign in the Premier League era and Ten Hag were asked about the possibility.
He said: ‘I don’t take comments, take that question. It’s not important for this moment,’ before you leave.

United’s worst finish came in the 2013–14 season, the first season after Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure, when they finished seventh.
They had the chance to move back up to sixth and maintain their slim hopes of securing Champions League football next season, but struggled to take control against a spirited Bournemouth side.
The Cherries had raced into the lead through Dominic Solanke’s 17th goal of the season after 16 minutes.
Bruno Fernandes then got Ten Hag’s men level just after the half-hour, but the hosts responded by regaining the lead through Justin Kluivert five minutes later.
Fernandes got his second of the game from the penalty spot to rescue United a point in another night to forget for his side.

United are now without a win in four league games, having drawn against Liverpool and Brentford and lost to Chelsea ahead of Saturday’s result.
They will look to get back on track when they face Coventry at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final next weekend.
