    99.9% it was/is Phelan.

    The original leaker was a poster called Partytown on RedIssue. In Fergie's era he always, without fail, posted team news and injury news waaaay before the papers or anything official came out.

    He went quiet for literally years when Fergie retired, but is now suddenly getting information again. Recent example was when he posted about Rashford/his brother leaking stories to his favourite journalists about Rashford being injured...then, a few days later, the Henry Winter article comes out with cringe hyperpositive quotes like "his teammates are in awe of his bravery".

    Rashford's brother backed this up a couple of days ago by posting similar stuff on his Twitter - before deleting his entire account the next day after being called out over Rashford/Rashford's camp repeatedly leaking things to paint him in a positive light, while degrading the club.

    The poster Partytown is also a similar age to Phelan, which adds more credence.

    Edit - excuse the Internet wormhole, I'm just bored and waiting for the match to start. :lol:

    Stop galaxy braining it with these hugely complicated words that we mortals have no chance of understanding.
     
    Would prefer McTominay starting instead of Fred but other than that, happy with the lineup. Which of course means we will balls it up.
     
    Very attacking lineup! Let's hope they're right at it from the first whistle today as I don't want to see any of this slow start/sloppiness that were used to seeing.

    I guess Henderson is the preferred choice of GK for now. Can't complain, the change was possibly overdue. Up to De Gea to get thr shirt back now. I fully expect he'll start the Europa game as Ole seems to like to swap out the goalkeepers for that and the league. It seems who's in what role has reversed however.

    Right, so you actually think the club runs with logical decision making.
     
    A lot of pressure on Henderson now let’s hope he can handle it.
     
    Changes from the last game.

    Out - Telles, Matic, De Beek, Martial

    In - Shaw, Bruno, Cavani, Rashford

    Henderson starting means he's number 1 for now. Martial, Telles, Bailly not on the bench.
     
    Honestly our best possible line up when everyone is git. Possibly Mct instead of Fred but that's a toss up. Not going to be easy but I expect a win. 3-0 United.

    Why's Ole letting the players know 3.5 hours before who's playing?! Surely keep it until an hour before so everyone stays focused and mentally prepared.

    Players are surely informed of starting far earlier than an hour before kickoff.
     
    Best 11 I think that's fit. Surprised DDG isnt back in, Henderson is being given a fair crack now. Come on lads.
     
    What worries me is the bookmakers's odds for us to win is uncharacteristically high when are at home to a 16th place team. I don't quite understand why.
     
    I'm not keen on Pogba in midfield.

    But hopefully the front 4 and back 5 will be enough to compensate for the middle 2.

    I think it’s hilarious that you have to shoe horn everything into a tragedy story about how the club is run. Lighten up a bit.
     
    All Ole needs to do re the leak is to tell each player individually the team, with one difference in each. But even when he knows the mole, he ain't dropping bruno, so.

    I fecked up my own shit joke. Rat. Not mole.

    Plot twist: the mole is Rebekah Vardy.
     
    Moises Caicedo in the bench for them, hopefully he gets minutes so we can see what we missed.
