The £40 million move is all done and dusted now though, and ahead of the £40 million move, Bakayoko couldn't resist to wind up United fans.
In a Tweet that has since been deleted, the 22-year old wished his followers "Good Morning" but changed his location to Manchester, England. Bakayoko was linked with United, with some reports suggesting that the Red Devils were attempt to hijack a Chelsea transfer for the second time this summer, following the £75 million signing of Romelu Lukaku.
He went a step further, producing a second post that featured red and white coloured emojis.

Chelsea fans should not fear, though, as Bakayoko has already basically confirmed he's Chelsea bound through his other social media activity.

He had a little back and forth with soon-to-be teammate Michy Batshuayi over Twitter:
Bakayoko will become Chelsea's third signing of the summer, after the signing of former Manchester City goalkeeper Willy Caballero on a free transfer and the £34 million capture of Roma centre-back Antonio Rudiger.

Will Bakayoko be a success at Chelsea? Does his signing mark the end of Nemanja Matic's time at the club?
