Doesn't the team get circulated to a fair amount of people? It seems fairly probable they'd be some sort of leak.

Ok a leak but I am sure that any of us on this site could predict the team with a certain amount of probability just following the reports in the Manchester evening news. I.E., players arriving at local hotel, Stockport railway station, Manchester airport etc.. Given injuries and perhaps lose of form the first eleven picks itself.
If argue the last couple of league games have been a bit less predictable eg Fred returning, Mata’s continued presence, Lukaku dropped.

The lineup prediction league says otherwise.

It'd waste too much energy, but if I was the manager i'd give a whole set of different lineups to different people, and try and close in on the mole.

Surely only the coaching staff and the 18 in the party know the line up?
The best way to catch a mole, is to give 25 different set of starting 11 to 25 different people, see which one got leak.

Is that why just one name was wrong? Nice theory.

You think none of the players or staff might discuss them and realise?

They're back again.

It's been years now. Which players have been in the squad throughout? Suspect #1 is now in the US so it wasnt him. De Gea, Smalling or Jones? Is it even a player?

Not sure what players would gain from it, especially across multiple managers. Has to be a member of staff.

Manchester Utd never lose, just run out of time

It's probably more likely to be a staff member rather than an actual player. Or maybe a close friend or family member that a player trusts and doesn't realise they are leaking it.
