Amorim Questions Manchester United Players Over Lineup Leak
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim questions Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo after the starting lineup for the derby against Manchester City was leaked before the match.
Ruben Amorim, Manchester United's head coach, has launched an internal inquiry to uncover the source of a leaked starting lineup ahead of the highly anticipated derby against Manchester City. The lineup, which included significant tactical changes, surfaced online hours before kickoff, potentially giving City a strategic advantage.
Reports suggest that Amorim personally questioned two key players, Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo, regarding their potential involvement in the leak. Both players featured prominently in the match, with Diallo scoring a crucial goal in the 2-1 victory.
After the game, Amorim addressed the controversy, saying, "Leaks like this are deeply concerning, not just for tactical reasons but also for team morale. The club will thoroughly investigate to ensure such incidents are avoided in the future. It’s challenging in today’s environment where players communicate extensively with agents, friends, and family."
While Amorim refrained from placing direct blame on any individual, he emphasized the importance of maintaining confidentiality within the squad, particularly ahead of crucial matches.
Manchester United’s management is reportedly implementing stricter measures to safeguard sensitive information, aiming to preserve the competitive integrity of the team.
