Manchester United have concluded that players and support staff not involved in team news leak – Man United News And Transfer News

Twenty-four hours before the Manchester derby, journalist Samuel Luckhurst dropped a bombshell by dropping team news which had reportedly been leaked.

And it turned out to be true on Sunday as Ruben Amorim dropped both Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford from the matchday squad.

That did not deter Manchester United from emerging triumphant but the head coach was asked about this persistent problem that has plagued multiple managers before him as well.

“I know that story, I think it is impossible to fix, you have a lot of people in the club, the players talk with agents, it is not a good thing.”

Team leak investigation

However, as relayed by The Peoples Person, the Red Devils have launched an investigation into the issue with Amorim reportedly questioning both Garnacho and Amad Diallo regarding the source of the leak.

The Argentine and his brother were accused of being the mole on social media while Rashford’s name was also being bandied about.

As ESPN have now revealed, the club management have been satisfied with their response and have come to the conclusion that no player or support staff are involved in the leak.

“United, according to a source, do not believe a single player or staff member is responsible for the leaks and that the information is seeping early out in different ways.”

United spoke to players, staff

The report further added that the club have taken measures to stop the dissemination of information from within the dressing room including delivering a speech to all concerned.

“The club are set to take measures to keep team news from becoming public as best they can. A source has told ESPN that players and staff have, informally, been reminded of their responsibility to keep the information private to prevent opposing teams from gaining a competitive advantage.”

Whether this works remains to be seen but Amorim has already revealed that he does not think it is too big of a problem currently.

Up next for the Old Trafford side is a huge Carabao Cup quarter-final tie against Tottenham Hotspur and it will be interesting to see if something similar happens again.
