Who is it? Heard on Sky Sports our line ups got released early again.



I'm putting a wager on Lindegaard.
 
What's the point of it? Someone is leaking them so a reporter from the mirror can get more retweets and followers?

Whatever it is, I dislike how open it is. It's another thing about Ferguson I miss. His total control of the media and keeping things inside the club.

Likewise, just leaking line-ups seems relatively pointless - I can't imagine there's much to gain from it

You can be sure if he's getting line ups early he's getting other things too. I hope Moyes comes out and takes a leaf out of pep's book.
 
Doubt it's from the players really

Only people who know are Moyes, his staff and the players.



His staff leaking stuff is more worrying.
 
Rooney.

Considering The Mirror was his mouth piece during the summer, he's either repaying the favour or he is earning some points with a journalist to spend on a PR Campaign when he decides to leave us this summer...

Isn't it more to do with helping the opposition team having more time to make adjustments?

What happened to the leak at Bayern? Last I heard was Guardiola saying they'll never work for him when he finds out who
 

Really? Playing one different player in defence/attack/midfield can change whole aproach to defending or attacking of the opposite team. You really think Fergie would be so secret about his teams if it doesn't mean anything?
 
it's simple...get a few hoax lineups out to different people, and see which one makes it out!

The question is what does the United leak get from it.

I don't see the reason why a member of United would be leaking it though, seems rather ridiculous.
 
Moyes should do a Pep and threat the person who is doing this regardless of his status at the club.
 
Phil Jones probably. He's a bit Tom Bombadil when it comes to these things; he probably doesn't understand the need for team sheets and treats them like toys

Who knows, I remember Fergie mentioning player's agents leaking the first XI last year.
 
I don't know who leaks it but I think it's got to be a player slightly out of favour and I would say Rio Ferdinand. But it only gets released around 30 mins before the official release so I don't really see what they're gaining.
 
If there's one thing it's worth the risk of exposing an inside informer for, it's the ability to announce the starting line up about 15 minutes earlier than usual on twitter.
 
No wonder Moyes is waiting until late to tell players who is playing.
 
It's odd they banned him, because it's not like United have a track record of banning people who report correct stories about the club.
 
Ah, someone beat me to it and posted it in the Moyes thread.
 
I really don't understand why United do things like this.

Firstly, there's clearly a mole in the camp. The answer is to find the mole, not ban the journalist.

Secondly, the whole point of journalism is, as the man mentions, to uncover stories. I'm not really sure what United expect them to do.
 
Press conferences are stupid anyway, those journos haven't asked him good question since beggining of season, they all should be banned for not doing their job.
