FORMER Stoke captain Glenn Whelan has blasted a new Premier League rule during Manchester United’s defeat to Arsenal.
The ex-midfielder objected to a broadcast decision made by Sky Sports.
Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard was interviewed at half-time and asked to give his thoughts on the opening period whilst in the tunnel.
Whelan fumed at the change, tweeting: “ ffs… who’s signed this off bet they’ve never wore a pair of football boots.”
Sky Sports new TV deal with the Prem grants the broadcaster greater access than ever.
They will air half-time interviews with players and managers and have more access to the dressing room.
Odegaard’s interview was the first to appear on Sky Sports this season.
Premier League teams will have to allow broadcasters access to one of the new enhancements at least twice per season.
However, clubs will be able to deny access to their dressing rooms if they are losing – as outlined in Section K of the league’s latest handbook.
Clubs will also be able to have the final say on whether audio from inside the dressing room is recorded.

If access is denied then clubs will have to accommodate another request for access later in the season.
The process of adding the new enhancements has been thoroughly mapped out by the league, outlining the procedure that clubs and broadcasters will have to take.
Broadcasters must request enhanced access at least five days before the match they want it for, identifying what kind of access they would prefer.
