Manchester United have found itself in the spotlight yet again, but this time, it’s not for their on-field performance.
Two young stars, Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho, are reportedly furious after being accused of leaking sensitive team news.
The drama unfolded after team selections for the Manchester derby against City were revealed before kickoff. This isn’t the first time the Red Devils have faced such issues.
Former managers David Moyes and Jose Mourinho also struggled to plug these leaks. Current boss Ruben Amorim is now facing the same problem, with whispers on social media pointing fingers at Amad and Garnacho.
Both players are said to be livid over the accusations. Club insiders and the players themselves firmly deny the claims. They believe the rumors are baseless and driven by individuals seeking attention online.
According to reports (via Mail Online), Garnacho and Amad even considered publicly addressing the issue before their Europa League win over Viktoria Plzen. However, they were advised to stay silent to avoid escalating the situation.

Who is behind the Man Utd team news leak?
While the club hasn’t launched an official investigation, there’s speculation that these leaks are coming from insiders who are not members of the playing staff.
Club staff suspect that individuals close to the stars, like agents or friends, might be responsible. Amorim also acknowledged the difficulty of containing such information in today’s interconnected world.
Speaking after the Manchester derby, he said, “It’s almost impossible to control. Players talk to agents and friends. It’s not ideal, but we have to move on.”
Despite the turmoil, United are focusing on upcoming fixtures, including a Carabao Cup clash with Spurs and a Premier League match against Bournemouth.
The Red Devils will be hoping that the controversy will soon die down and attention will shift back to the pitch.
