Man Utd fans are getting excited after seeing what Lamine Yamal's dad posted on Instagram
Manchester United fans are getting very, very excited after seeing what Lamine Yamal's dad posted on social media.
Yamal, 17, has emerged as one of the best players in world football following his recent exploits for Barcelona and Spain, where he helped his national team to Euro 2024 glory last summer.
He has six goals in 16 games in all competitions this season, having bagged seven goals last season.

Yamal, who is contracted at Barca until 2026, is valued around £125 million.
A move away from the Camp Nou doesn't seem like an option at this stage but the starlet's father, Mounir Nasraoui, has sparked transfer frenzy following his post on Instagram.
He shared an image of himself sporting a full Man United tracksuit.
Needless to say, Mounir's social media post sent Man United fans into meltdown.
One X user wrote: "Yamal to Yanited, here we go!"
A second tweeted: "Let Yamal come and be a legend at Man United."
A third added: "@manchesterunited bring Yamal!!"
A fourth said: "BRING YAMAL TO UNITED UNC."
Even an astronomical offer wouldn't lure Yamal away from the Catalan giants as club president Joan Laporta insist he's not for sale, having turned down a massive €250 million offer.
Just like Laporta and Barca, Mounir holds his son in high regard and believes the winger is a 'special case'.
Speaking out on an old photo of Lionel Messi, aged 20 at the time, and a baby Yamal, he said via The Business Standard: "They are coincidences in life. Blessing from Leo to Lamine? or from Lamine to Leo. For me, my son is the best.
"Lamine is a special case. He has matured before the others. Thanks to all of Spain, La Masia, friends..."
