Manchester United is urgently searching for who leaked their new tactical plan, revealing doubts from Ruben Amorim, the team's head coach.
On 17 Dec 2025 GMT+7, Manchester United, the renowned Premier League club known as the "Red Devils," is urgently seeking the person responsible for leaking their new tactical plan. This comes amid suspicions expressed by the Portuguese head coach, Ruben Amorim.
Until recently, Ruben Amorim consistently used a three-defender system. However, in the latest match at Old Trafford—a 4-4 draw against Bournemouth, nicknamed "The Cherries"—he adjusted tactics by moving Diogo Dalot, who had been playing as a left wing-back, back to right-back. This effectively formed a back four, matching reports that leaked the tactical shift hours before the game in England.
Following this incident, the club's board suspects that Bournemouth may have had prior knowledge of their tactical plan. Ruben Amorim himself is questioning how the plan was leaked, noting that the team had practiced the four-defender system throughout the week. This is not a new issue, as similar leaks have occurred multiple times in the club's history, becoming a persistent problem across several eras.
