All except one.
My money would definitely be on it being a member of a player's family or friends, or their partner's family or friends. It's probably extremely difficult to find out who, the player involved might not even know it's them. The best solution is to have a generally very happy squad, as this means they'll moan less about 'work' when they're at home.
Lingard? Was he leaking at 21?
No way Matic was the leak. Jose would have had a fair idea about leaks in the dressing room and wouldn’t have signed him for Roma had he been at it.
If Pogba didn't know it was his brother/agent leaking shit when they were on TV shows talking about how happy/upset he is...
Have heard good things about him from fans who've been around him for longer than a few minutes where it's become harder to keep it up if it was a facade.
Also probably bored out of his mind. The dude was paid 30k/w every week and didn't play a single minute in 2 years.
He was training every day, helping the younger keepers out, doing his coaching badges and most importantly - occasionally holding up the subs number board on match day.
Best paid junior GK coach in the history of football?
Very true. I guess that's how you can make a statement like "club expects it to be less of an issue next season"!
Imagine Gazza or Rooney or Keano still playing, this leaking mess would’ve been easily dealt with on the training ground. One fine tackle from behind, off the ball and the leaker will be gone into sunset. But of course in their times their team mates were well on the other spectrum of loyalty so they never needed to do deal with something like. What a shame.
My opinion, it's Lingard and Grant.
Who gives a feck who the leak is at this point!? A couple have supposedly gone and we have a new manager coming in who is hopefully going put an actual structure in place.
His first piece of business should be to tell everyone in the squad that they are starting afresh but if anyone talks to the media about our business from now on, they’re gone.
His second piece of business should be to tell every journalist that they are on notice to keep their noses clean and to cut out all the negative shite they keep writing about us. Start handing out bans like SAF from the presser, interviews etc…

Wasn't Henderson suspected of leaking info at one point? It's only a matter of time before he leaves so could also come into consideration as one of the 2?
Knowing how much of a bellend journalists are these days, I wouldnt be surprised when they create a bombastic article revealing who the leakers were eventhough theyre the ones who gave them info.
So 'briefings' still happening to journalists from United players I see ...
Must be Lingard/Pogba/Matic....delete as appropriate...
...oh wait.

Examples?
What briefings?
Or maybe its journalists creating something out of nothing? Why would Castles take a shot at the person giving him the information if they actually existed?
What leaks?? The Ronaldo stuff? You reckon they found out all this stuff over the wkend?
There has been no briefings. Just one journalist, who is not the most reputable, put out a 2+2=5 tweet.
Just a couple in the last week. But this is only preseason and most journalists are focused on transfer news.
There’s been loads of stuff over the last couple of weeks. Mainly positive. Journalists will always have contacts within the club. The idea that you get rid of one or two “moles” and everything that happens in the dressing room would remain secret was always pretty deluded.
The poor players, unable to express themselves and having to feed the goat all the time... imagine if they had to play for Messi's barca..
Well if the Melissa Reddy tweet is true Im all for it. We have so Man Utd players that play in auto-pilot and only switch on when its too late that making them actually think is a good thing.
Are these “leaks”?
The first might be if true, if not - not a leak.
The second isn’t a leak to worry about. It’s just standard off the record stuff that has gone on for decades.
The leaks the club was trying to snuff out was leaked team sheets and tactical briefings against staff.
He will be the one feeding them.
Duncan Castles explicitly stating the word briefings from United players,
Plenty of Training ground updates,
Interesting to see these stories come out, despite the supposed leakers not being anywhere near this club
