Mehdi Taremi's agent drops shock Man Utd transfer hint on social media, nobody saw this coming

Porto striker Mehdi Taremi's agent has dropped a hint on social media that the player could be moving to Manchester United this summer.

The Red Devils have already signed Mason Mount this summer, with the 24-year-old midfielder agreeing a £65 million move from Chelsea earlier this month.

Meanwhile, United are working on completing the signing of Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana, after David de Gea announced that he was leaving the club this summer.

However, a striker is thought to remain a priority for Erik ten Hag, as he seeks to fill the void left behind by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund has emerged as a potential addition, with the 20-year-old Dane reportedly keen on a move to Old Trafford.

But Taremi has since thrown United fans off the scent and placed himself at the centre of United's transfer rumours.

Taremi's agent posted a picture on his Instagram story of the United badge at Old Trafford, tagging the stadium as his location.

There has been little to no rumours linking the 30-year-old with a move to United, but it would perhaps make sense.

The Iranian managed to score an impressive 29 goals for Porto across all competitions last season and could be available at a cut-price of £17 million, according to Portuguese outlet O Jogo, relayed by teamTALK.

However, the Manchester Evening News have claimed that the image was not taken today, adding further confusion to the situation.

Arsenal have also been linked to the striker, with Mikel Arteta allegedly keen to add another forward to his ranks before the transfer window slams shut.
