So is this Grassopha Christie?
Andy Mitten: United carried out an investigation into leaks from the dressing room
- Thread starter darioterios
- Start date
Didn't he call Maguire a knobhead?
That’s got to be either Rashford or Shaw. Lingard’s form wouldn’t be mentioned, so it must be either of them. I’m leaning towards Rashford because we’ve seen him call Maguire a prick before.
All these leaks about leaks makes everyone a suspect, and is very unfair towards those players who haven't done anything of the sort. The club should either name names, or shut up about it.
Not really, just someone who’s form has been wildly inconsistent which is Bailly to a tee. He has contributed to the bad season. Like the time he scored an OG in the derby and was subbed at half time.
Yeah, I remember that one, but he's made others too.
Mct found it funny at least
This is being positive about Maguire isn’t it? Kind of makes a counter argument to my point. Although if it is Bailly I think it’s his agent rather than him.
Of course there is. It's the vast majority of what a footballer does in any given week.
It's a nasty state of affairs and shows the level to which client journalism is accepted in football. In a recent podcast, Andy Mitten was incredulous Pogba did not speak with journalists and suggested the press were right to treat him unfairly cause of that.
Is this shit peculiar to this country?
There was the instagram thing, but before that there were a few leaks about Bailly questioning management about Maguire getting games despite being shit all season
It’s clearly a player that isn’t getting game time and thinks the players getting game time don’t deserve it
I know the podcast you’re referring to and I’d say you’re exaggerating a touch. He said Pogba hadn’t warmed himself to journalists at any point here so there’s no one to fight his corner when gossip stories come out
If they've identified who it is then no way would they be getting games for the rest of the season.
Someone with mixed form who has dropped out of the team and is leaving, seems a lot like Pogba to me.

We’ve also just made a quick and recent decision on the future of AWB. Just saying.
Why is Grant being mentioned in this all over social media? Seems pretty obvious that both Lingard and Pogba are both immature with zero self-awareness, but Lee Grant? A sort-of-coach emergency backup goal keeper who hit the jackpot by signing for United during Woodward's reign (30K a week rumoured) - why on earth would he be leaking stuff?
No chance it was Lee Grant. He was a basically a coach. I find that hard to believe. Pogba and Lingard I think.
Grants been the known link for ages. The rumour is pretty old.
Also there’s more than one for various reason. I mean we all know Rashford is a leak and is still here.
Maybe they are talking about the starting line up leak.
I don't get why people think it's Pogba except that they dislike him so see him in anything negative. There are three main things players would get for leaking stuff.
1) Money. The money they might get from giving the media the odd bit of information would barely be noticeable for any player on a good wage.
2) Positive spin in the media. Pogba certainly doesn't get this, being probably the most negatively discussed player in England throughout his time here.
3) Future employment possibilities for players looking to move into the media after retiring. I highly doubt Pogba will come back to live in England.
Lingard could definitely benefit from both #2 and #3. But Pogba?
Pretty sure Lee Grant was one of them. He was quite buddy-buddy with the TalkSport guys. It's almost definite that Lingard is the other.
I don't think Rashford's is harmful, it's more pro-Rashford propaganda than anti-United. As for Pogba, I don't think he was a leak, everything he wanted to say came from his mouth-piece (the late Mino Raiola) than the press, in fact the press seemed to hate Pogba.

Yeah and as Andy Mitten said, Pogba avoided even trusted United journalists like him. If he's avoiding Mitten then he's definitely not going to be leaking stuff to the press in general, especially the English one.
Main leakers were 2 of Matic, Lingard and Grant.

Raiola ran his mouth on a regular basis. It all could have come through him or someone else Pogba knows
I guess we will find out next season...
Raiola was seriously ill for months before his death. I doubt he was focusing on that and more on sorting the transfers for Pogba and Haaland than Man Utd's dressing room squabbles.
4) Ego.
Not sure what ego has to do with it. If anything, somebody with a large ego would want to get more out of it for himself. In reality Pogba has generally been fighting a losing battle with the English media for his entire time here, which wouldn't make sense either from his point of view or from the media's point of view if he were the leaker.
Maybe so. He obviously had a toxic agent who wasn't afraid to pick fights with his employers on very sensitive occasions, so there's that. And his agent talks on his behalf. I just assume that with him thinking he's more important than everyone else and wanting to be treated differently, it's not a stretch to think he'd undermine the club and his teammates and managers if he feels it serves his own agenda.
But it could be someone else of course, just find him more likely than the others.
That's the thing, I don't see how it ever has served his own agenda. You'd expect the media to be giving preferential treatment to their sources (whether it's him directly or his agent). He's never had that. He's always been the player most blamed for all the failures of the club, often far more than he actually deserved.
I could be wrong and it turns out he was leaking stuff, but if so then he was absolutely terrible at getting anything in return. I'd find it much more likely to be the players who are treated favourably by the media.
People complaining about dressing rooms leaks still when United's CEO is leaking everything possible about the club!
You couldn't make it up!!

If JLingz was a leak then surely Rashy is too.
Are you talking about the clip doing the rounds on social media?
If so, you can't possibly be serious. One, he was recorded without his knowledge. Two, he is engaging with a fan who had concerns about the direction the club was going in. People criticize the hierarchy for not doing that, and the second they do, they're crucified!
Jesus. With fans like you, we probably deserve this misery.
A bit irrational..
Both play like vegetables
Based on?
Certainly living up to that username.
It’s Lingard and Pogba, according to the guy who made the Arnold Video.
Feck me indeed.
I am not crucifying anyone. I'm all for a CEO speaking to the fans. I like that style.
But the fact that people were spitting feathers over Lingard speaking to Scholes about dressing room morale in a similar situation (a one on one chat) yet not doing the same over the CEO is what bothers me.
Fans are fickle and have their favourites, likewise they have their scapegoats.
The levels of hypocrisy at times in here is beyond belief.
So chill with your hyperbole and assumptions, and look at it from a different angle, the angle I was coming from.
Do we though?
Where did you pull Matic from?
Oh yeah I can definitely see Andy Mitten dressing up like Bear Grylls, sneaking around players. "Leakers in the wild".
Nah. Everyone and their grandma know it was Lingard and Pogba.

The Rebekah Vardy shit has shown it doesn’t have to be a player. Pogba could moan to someone close to him who leaks everything for all we know.
