Stories from within the Manchester United dressing room – albeit many remain merely as rumors up until this day – have been leaked to the press on several occasions, leading to the belief that there is someone from within the club that has been talking to the media.
This belief was further fueled on Saturday when reports emerged that the Red Devils had already made the decision to sack manager Louis Van Gaal, with confirmation that Jose Mourinho will be replacing the Dutchman expected to arrive after the FA Cup final clash with Crystal Palace.
Further developments to the Mourinho-to-United story claim that the Portuguese tactician will be announced as the new boss at Old Trafford on Tuesday, leaving Ed Woodward and the Red Devils in humiliation as to how this news – if true – made its way from the club’s inner-circle and into the headlines.
This also gives rise to further questions: is there a mole at the Theatre of Dreams, and if so, who is he? According to Red Issue on Twitter, there is one, and they have their finger pointed firmly at club captain Wayne Rooney. Check out their allegation in the tweets below.

Should the Special One touch down in Manchester, the former Chelsea boss may be set to butt heads with the England captain, if the Three Lions forward is even in Mourinho’s plan for United, as the Special One’s hatred for moles is well documented given his ill relationship with Casillas in the past.
