Manchester United fans could not help but get excited after seeing Kobbie Mainoo's interaction with potential new teammate Joshua Zirkzee.

Mainoo produced a fine showing as England beat the Netherlands to reach the Euro 2024 final.

Ollie Watkins scored a 90th minute winner, latching on to a superb pass from fellow substitute Cole Palmer and providing a stunning turn and finish.

Harry Kane had earlier cancelled out Xavi Simons' opener with a controversial penalty.

Mainoo was one of England's top performers in Dortmund, combining excellently with Phil Foden.

And if the 19-year-old's purring displays in the middle of weren't enough to get United fans excited, his post-match antics certainly were.

Mainoo shared a moment with Netherlands striker Zirkzee, who came off the bench very late after England's winner.

Fans spotted Mainoo smirking at the 23-year-old before shaking hands and embracing.

Zirkzee, currently plying his trade with Bologna in Serie A, is believed to have agreed personal terms with United ahead of a mooted £34 million switch.

He could become Erik ten Hag's first signing of the summer and supporters are convinced the Mainoo interaction is a sign he is Old Trafford-bound.

One wrote: "NAHHHH THE SMIRK FROM KOBBIE."

Another said: "Kobbie Mainoo meets Joshua Zirkzee."

A third added: "Making it obvious. What connection do they have?"

A fourth commented: "Agent Mainoo KNOWS!".

A final person posted: "Future teammates".

Zirkzee has attracted interest from a whole host of European clubs after a stunning 12-goal season for Bologna.

He was previously a bit-part player at Bayern Munich before joining Bologna on a permanent fee following loan spells at Parma and Anderlecht.

Initially not included in the Netherlands squad by Ronald Koeman, he did then get the nod after injury problems and made his senior debut in the quarter final win over Turkey.
