Man Utd are trying to root out a potential mole issuing sensitive information on social mediaEPA
The mystery leaker has stopped posting on match days.
But the account most recently issued injury updates regarding the fitness of Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Sergio Reguilon, who are all sidelined.
Much of the information is accurate, and confidential.
And, according to The Mail, the account has raised immense suspicion at Old Trafford.
And United chiefs believe someone connected with the club must be behind it.
Now the Manchester giants are said to be investigating in a bid to root out any possible moles.
The profile was created earlier this year, often beating the Red Devils’ official accounts in revealing the latest news.
This has led to plenty of traction online and a large number of followers.

The Red Devils fear those kinds of accounts could damage team unity and offer an advantage to their opponents.
A United insider told the Mail: “Preparation for games these days is so thorough that leaked information about team line-ups and injuries can give the opposition an advantage to exploit.
“United fans should be hounding out these accounts that routinely leak this kind of information, and questioning what is their motivation for doing it.”
