The club are determined to defend Garnacho and Diallo against the unfair scrutiny, and sources say they will not accept either player being wrongfully accused without any evidence whatsoever.

Although United accept that leaks are inevitable in the digital era, particularly at a club of their size, there is frustration that the line-up continues to get out on a regular basis. However, insiders point out that it’s a problem that has plagued the club for some time, long before Garnacho and Diallo were part of the first-team squad.
