Manchester United is reportedly investigating a leak of their team news, which was made public on social media before their important match against Manchester City. On the eve of the game, the starting lineup for United, which included players like Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount, and Andre Onana, was revealed by journalist Samuel Luckhurst from the Manchester Evening News. However, the surprise in the leak came from the absence of key players Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho from the starting XI, sparking confusion among fans and analysts alike.
Interestingly, 17 hours after the leak, Ruben Amorim (presumably a coach or official associated with Manchester United in this context) confirmed that Rashford and Garnacho were excluded from the match due to “selection reasons,” not due to any injuries or illnesses. Amorim also addressed the matter in a post-match press conference after United’s 2-1 victory over City, where he commented on the leak, stating that it was “impossible” to stop such information from being disclosed, which hints at the challenges faced by clubs in keeping team news confidential ahead of matches.
The incident has led to an internal investigation at Manchester United, with two players being questioned by Ruben Amorim to determine the source of the leak, as team leaks can be a serious issue, affecting the preparation and competitive edge of the squad.
