MANCHESTER UNITED fear they have a mole within their ranks leaking sensitive information.
An anonymous account on X – formerly known as Twitter – has been sharing first-team news and injury updates before they are made public by the club.

"United fans should be hounding out these accounts that routinely leak this kind of information, and questioning what is their motivation for doing it."
