Sir

We agree that "must" has many different uses, don't we?


Therefore,


As for reporting "must" with the meaning of obligation

It has both

1- to keep it unchanged if the obligation is still in practice


2- if the obligation has changed with the course of time, then it should be changed into " had to"


that's according to what has been tackled in"


Focus English Grammar


As for most book , they side with the ultimate change

That's God knows best


Regards

Thank you Mr Ayman
That is a good point of view
you have removed the opaue of reporting must completely
but for student, I think, we should stick to what is mentioned in the student book to not confuse students
