Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim is conducting an investigation into the player responsible for leaking team news, according to reports.

The Red Devils beast arch-rivals Man City in the Premier League on Sunday with Amorim’s side coming from a goal down to beat the Citizens, thanks to late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo.

Man Utd, who are currently 13th in the Premier League table, have had a terrible season so far with Erik ten Hag losing his job at the end of October and the Red Devils have continued their inconsistent form under the new manager.

Amorim has overseen two wins, two losses and a draw in the Premier League, while Man Utd have also won two Europa League matches under the Portuguese head coach.

And his job has been made harder with team news being leaked to the press before they play important matches with the starting XI for their clash against Man City was leaked the night before.

Man Utd boss Amorim was unhappy that the team news had been linked, he commented: “I know that story, I think it is impossible to fix, you have a lot of people in the club, the players talk with agents, it is not a good thing.”

And now The Sun claim that Man Utd have ‘launched an investigation into which player is leaking team news information’ and derby day hero Diallo and Garnacho – who was left out of the squad altogether – have ‘been quizzed by new boss Ruben Amorim as to whether they are responsible’.

The report added:

‘Garnacho’s brother Roberto had been accused on social media of being one source.

‘Team news has leaked in the past when Alejandro has been left out.

‘Roberto denied last week that he is the mole.’

The Sun continued:

‘Amorim is satisfied neither Amad or Garnacho are involved directly in the leaking.’

Former Man Utd assistant manager Rene Meulensteen reckons the Red Devils would win the Premier League under Amorim if all his players had the same attitude as Diallo, who scored a wonderful solo effort against Man City.

Meulensteen told Instant Casino: “Amad Diallo is the embodiment of Manchester United. He is exactly what I want to see in Manchester United players – he’s fresh, quick, hard-working, brave and quality on the ball. His body language is excellent and he’s great to watch – that’s what he’s all about.

“Everything that Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho lack, Diallo has in abundance. If I had to pick out one player and say, ‘that’s how I want Manchester United to be’ – it’s him!

“If United had 11 players with the same attitude as Amad Diallo, they would win the Premier League. There are too many squad members who you could say have a lack of quality or bad attitude, but he has none of that at all. He’s been so refreshing to watch in the past few weeks and I hope it can continue.”

Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim wants to get rid of Andre Onana in the January transfer window with a replacement lined up, according to reports.

The Red Devils beat Man City 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday in a potentially game-changing victory for the confidence and belief around Ruben Amorim’s side.

Late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo wiped out Josko Gvardiol’s opener for the Citizens as Man Utd picked up an important three points, which kept them 13th in the Premier League table but five points off fifth-placed Man City.

Amorim has only been in place since mid-November and has had a mixed start to his time at Old Trafford with the Portuguese coach overseeing two wins, two losses and a draw in his first five Premier League matches.

There has been lots of speculation as to who Man Utd could look to move on in the January transfer window and who Amorim will be able to bring in as reinforcements.

Onana is one player who has put himself in the spotlight in recent weeks, despite his overall good form this season for Man Utd, after dropping a couple of clangers against Nottingham Forest and Viktoria Plzen.

And now reports in Spain claim that Amorim ‘wants him out now’ and ‘asks for a top replacement for January’ after ‘losing patience’ with Onana.

It is understood that the Cameroonian ‘has not managed to convince the Portuguese coach, who is already planning his replacement for the winter transfer market’.

Amorim ‘names’ the replacement he wants in the form of Nice goalkeeper Marcin Bulka and Man Utd ‘would be willing to invest 20 million euros to sign him as an undisputed starter’.

The Man Utd boss has ‘made Bulka one of his priorities’ with the Poland goalkeeper ‘an affordable option for the Red Devils , who are willing to make the necessary financial effort’.

Signing a new goalkeeper is ‘one of the most urgent priorities’ and ‘would be the first step in Ruben Amorim ‘s plans to strengthen the team in the winter transfer market’.

Despite the rumours, Amorim came out and defended Onana from criticism earlier this week, the Man Utd boss said: “Yeah we have to take it like it is. He had already, in the past, a situation like that. So we have to work on this.

“If you see the play, we are trying to build up a lot with the goalkeeper making the balls with Matta [Matthijs de Ligt] a lot of times.

“This time, we have a disconnect a little bit during the play and, when we try this, we suffered a goal, a difficult goal for us in the start of the second half. But we managed today, not like against Nottingham [Forest]. We managed to help Onana, like he did in the past for us.”

Man City were stinky but not stinky enough to have a single player in the Premier League worst XI of the weekend, which is dominated by Southampton.

As always, the team is based on WhoScored match ratings.

GK: Alex McCarthy (Southampton) – 5.56
Where do we begin?. Southampton’s customary 9-0 Premier League looked possible as they were demolished by Tottenham on Sunday night but after racing into a 4-0 lead inside 25 minutes, they took pity on their hosts in the second half after James Maddison’s second made it 5-0 deep into first-half injury time.

Conceding five goals in a match should always make you the worst goalkeeper of the weekend and that is the case with McCarthy, who made four saves in total, three of which came from shots inside the box. Aaron Ramsdale’s return should help but he needs to become superhuman to help the Saints avoid finishing bottom of the Premier League.

RB: Kyle Walker-Peters (Southampton) – 5.64
Man City’s Kyle Walker was rubbish again but it is his former Tottenham team-mate and (almost) namesake who earns a spot in the worst XI of the weekend.

He failed to track Heung-min Son and pick up goalscorer Dejan Kulusevski for Spurs’ third and was bullied off the ball by Destiny Udogie in the build-up to Pape Matar Sarr’s goal. It was a miserable afternoon for the Saints right-back.

CB: Jan Bednarek (Southampton) – 5.33
Bednarek has completed 941 passes in the Premier League this season, which is the most for someone to play 12 or fewer matches. He should fall down in the rankings following Russell Martin’s sacking with his replacement likely to change Southampton’s approach from passing themselves to boredom to something a little less naive.

The Polish defender registered his second error leading to a goal of 2024/25 in the 5-0 home defeat to Spurs, assisting Son with a perfect flicked header to the back post for the visitors’ second before eating grass for Kulusevski’s goal and being put in a spin cycle for Sarr’s.

CB: Conor Coady (Leicester) – 4.80
It’s nice to move away from Southampton as we take a look at the worst-rated player of the weekend. Leicester centre-back Coady could not deal with Alexander Isak in Newcastle United’s 4-0 home win, failing to clear the ball and registering an error leading to a goal for the Swede’s close-range finish.

CB: Jan Paul van Hecke (Brighton) – 5.55
We are on a roll with another non-Saints player in the worst XI. Our third and final centre-back is another with an error leading to a goal, though Van Hecke’s ‘error’ for Trevoh Chalobah’s opener strikes us as harsh.

Regardless, it was recorded and the algorithm doesn’t take nicely to those capers. He also lost possession 12 times and lost six duels, which did not help.

LB: Andy Robertson (Liverpool) – 5.10
It was a weekend to forget for quite a few left-backs in the Premier League. Robertson – who has been below par in 2024 – showed the strongest sign yet that he is finished at the top level with a calamitous red card against Fulham, which Liverpool head coach admitted was “deserved” but put down to the Scot carrying an injury from a strong Issa Diop challenge in the opening minutes.

Robertson’s woeful first touch allowed Harry Wilson to nip in and dribble in on goal but before he properly recovered the ball, the Welshman was wiped out and denied a clear goalscoring opportunity. Robertson had no complaints and Antonee Robinson’s performance for Fulham will have rubbed salt in the wounds – he is a fantastic player and the best possible replacement.

Elsewhere in Our League, left-backs Rayan Ait-Nouri and Marc Cucurella were sent off after the full-time whistle and Matheus Nunes had a shocker for Man City, conceding a penalty after a terrible pass back to Ederson.

DM: Oliver Skipp (Leicester) – 5.31
It has been a rough season for Skipp, who cost Leicester £25m in the summer. Eek.

The 24-year-old didn’t complete any take-ons, create any big chances, register an attempted assist or shot on target, make a single tackle or clearance as the Foxes were thumped at St James’ Park.

CM: Flynn Downes (Southampton) – 5.61
Back to managerless Southampton we go.

Like Skipp, ex-West Ham midfielder Downes was sold in the summer and has struggled as a regular starter in the Premier League. Against Spurs, he contributed nothing defensively or offensively.

CM: Mateus Fernandes (Southampton) – 5.68
Fernandes has been one positive for Southampton this season but he, like basically every one of his team-mates, was given the run-around at St Mary’s.

A yellow card did not help as he gets in this team just ahead of Leicester winger Stephy Mavididi.

ST: Adam Armstrong (Southampton) – 6.07
You can sympathise with the Saints attack given the calamity going on behind them but the algorithm doesn’t care. Against Spurs, Armstrong registered two shots, zero take-ons, zero aerial duels won, completed a grand total of four passes and was dribbled past twice.

Having been booked in the Manchester derby, Man United striker Rasmus Hojlund very narrowly misses out. He had a 6.09 match rating.

ST: Kamaldeen Sulemana (Southampton) – 5.81
Sulemana puts Armstrong to shame with his five passes but was even more anonymous, shooting precisely zero times in the 5-0 home defeat to Spurs.

Man Utd have identified Randal Kolo Muani as a potential replacement for Marcus Rashford in the January transfer window, according to reports.

The Red Devils beat arch-rivals Man City in the Manchester Derby on Sunday 2-1 with goals from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo sealing a late comeback victory for Ruben Amorim’s side.

Amorim stunned fans and pundits when he chose to leave Rashford and Man Utd team-mate Alejandro Garnacho out of the 20-man squad for the clash at the Etihad Stadium.

When asked about his team selection, Amorim told Sky Sports before the game: “We try to evaluate everything training performance, game performances, engagement with teammates, push their teammates up.

“Everything is on the line when we analyse and try to choose the players. It is my selection. Simple.

“I don’t want to send a message it is simply an evaluation and they know it. The players are really, really smart. Everybody understands my decision and I have to choose. It is simple selection.

“Of course the context is difficult because we have to win games and we have a difficult situation now. I pay attention to everything, the way you eat, the way you put your clothes to go to a game. Everything. I make my evaluation and then I decide.

“There is a communication after the last training. They are alright. They had training this morning and I was there. They trained really well.”

Amorim’s decision came after a week of speculation surrounding Rashford’s future with claims that Man Utd are open to selling the England international in the January transfer window if they receive a ‘top offer’.

And now Man Utd are looking at possible replacements with French publication L’Equipe confirming that the Red Devils are keen on signing PSG forward Kolo Muani.

PSG boss Luis Enrique has now given a ‘sign’ that the French club will look to move Kolo Muani on in the winter after leaving the striker out of his squad for the 3-1 win over Lyon in Ligue 1 over the weekend.

And Sky Germany back those claims up by insisting that Kolo Muani ‘currently plays no role at all in coach Luis Enrique’s plans and is expected to leave the club in the winter on loan at best’.

However, the report adds that the France international – who has contributed 12 goals and seven assists in 55 matches for PSG – ‘is on the transfer shortlist’ of Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig.
