This is like some sort of puzzle.
Can't they say "their first name.begins with a letter between C and E"?
Is this fecking cluedo?
I'm gonna say it was Matić with a walking stick in the dining room.
Could be Varane.
Doesn't fit what Luckhurst has said?Maguire and Lingard according to Laurie Whitwell
Putting up a fight? I can't see any of our players in this kind of situation except maybe Ronaldo and I simply can't see him risking all that money spent on face surgery being put under threat.I simply cannot see Varane being in this kind of a situation

Can't find this anywhere.Maguire and Lingard according to Laurie Whitwell
I'd be very surprised if it was Elanga, judging from Ronaldo and Bruno making such a fuss of him after assisting recently I can only imagine he's well liked and professional.
Doctor MUFC on twitter said that it was Hannibal and Fred according to his sources. Unverified account though. I can't post media yet so I couldn't add it here.
Why is 'Maguire vs Lingard' doing the rounds on twitter?
Where did Whitwell actually name the players involved?
Not sure. Just going off what was reported on here. Could just be a nonsense Twitter rumour looking at this

Not really. The story would have been dead in 24 hours if the two people had been named.Again: Why not just name the players?
It would generate far more clicks, you'd think.

Instead, by showing ambiguous silhouettes and posting debate-encouraging clues, The Sun have kept the nonsense going for significantly longer.
United's online fans love drama. Especially when they can assign their favourite scapegoat to one of the guilty party.
Whoever has told Custis has most likely asked him not to name them. Journos have to respect the wishes of their sources otherwise they won't feed them any more info in future.Yes - but what's the end game, then? To eventually reveal that it was Ronaldo and Maguire (but they've somehow managed to keep a lid on it)?
I mean, feck knows - but to me the fact that this was initially published the way it was, indicates that it's essentially a non-story.
If The Sun had learned about two high-profile (very clickable) players engaging in handbags on the training ground, I think they'd gone with precisely that - rather than being vague about it.
