Manchester United have initiated an investigation into who leaked manager Ruben Amorim’s tactical strategy to the press. These plans came to light, of all days, on the day of their first game against Bournemouth. The club’s move to investigate this very isolated incident speaks to the club’s desire to operate with a strong level of confidentiality and integrity.
At the same time, the speculation continues to swirl over the transfer of England international back GEORGE FURBANK from Northampton to join the Raptors. Northampton Town Chief Executive Jason Gilmore, a leading voice in football club management, has called Furbank “the best in the business.” He certainly hasn’t discounted the idea of Furbank playing at Old Trafford.
Inquiry into Leaked Plans
Amorim’s strategic leak has caused alarm at Manchester United. These acts of betrayal do just that — they erode team morale and focus in the heat of competition right before the most important matches. The club has approached this issue with the gravitas it deserves, making crystal clear that there must be secure communication channels between the club’s coaching staff.
This crash landing follows a tumultuous month for United as they look to make this downtime a launch pad for ameliorating their performance in the league. The purpose of the investigation is to find out how the document leaked and take steps to make sure it doesn’t happen again. The result of this investigation may have significant effects on how the club internally addresses the sharing of sensitive information.
Furbank’s Rising Profile
George Furbank has received the headlines over the last few months with his rampaging displays for Northampton. His adaptability and otherworldly talent combined have earned him a reputation as perhaps the best overall player on the field each weekend. Jason Gilmore’s support would suggest that Furbank could be a very good candidate to make such a transfer.
While no formal negotiations have taken place, Gilmore’s comments suggest that United is considering its options in strengthening their squad. His on-the-field performances in that arena of competition placed his athletic skill level on the international stage greatly enhancing his appeal. So, follow him this summer during the next transfer window!
