Manchester United players have started their own hunt for the team news mole in the dressing room, and some of them claim they know who is to blame for the leaks, according to the Daily Mail.
Matchday squads and starting line-ups for the Red Devils were constantly leaked on the internet hours before the game recently, but head coach Ruben Amorim attempted to play it down when asked how felt about the situation.
Some disgruntled Man United players not pleased with their lack of playing opportunities have been accused, but the culprits are yet to be caught.
However, some representatives of the Red Devils stars have contacted the Daily Mail following conversations with their clients, claiming to know who is to be blamed for the leaks.
No names were mentioned by the news outlet and there is no need to guess who the players are.
Man United are not the only club experiencing such leaks, and the mole could be a member of the non-playing staff given the number of people that have access to the dressing room and plans for matchdays.
The debate over whether these leaks affect the performances of teams has gone on for long, but Man United stars cannot blame it for their woeful run so far this term.
The Old Trafford club are currently 14th in the Premier League table after the first half of 2024-25, with nine defeats, six wins and four draws to their name.
Finishing in the top-six or top-seven already looks like a foregone conclusion for Man United as they are just seven points off safety, and whether this group of players can produce the much-needed response when they face league leaders Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday remains to be seen.
The Red Devils face Arsenal afterwards in the third round of the FA Cup on January 12 at Emirates Stadium, and Amorim will hope they can turn up and get the job done against a tough side.
