A Manchester United player has sent supporters into meltdown after dropping a transfer 'hint' during the January window.
It's been a difficult season for Erik ten Hag's side, who sit seventh in the Premier League table.
Sunday's 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur leaves the Red Devils eight points behind Arsenal in fourth place.
United finished third and won the Carabao Cup last campaign, with many expecting them to kick on.

An underwhelming summer transfer window and several injuries to first-team players have contributed to their struggles.
Despite how badly their squad has been stretched, several players have been allowed to depart Old Trafford on loan this month.
Donny van de Beek and Jadon Sancho joined Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, while Hannibal Mejbri has moved to Sevilla. Facundo Pellistri is yet to leave, although he could make a temporary switch to Granada.
Another player who continues to be linked with an exit is Amad Diallo.
The 21-year-old made his first Premier League appearance in over two years when he came off the bench in last month's 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
Ten Hag is said to be a fan of the player, who spent last season on loan in the Championship with Sunderland.
On Tuesday evening, it was reported Middlesbrough were attempting to bring Amad to the Riverside Stadium on a short-term deal.
Boro manager Michael Carrick is a United legend and worked with Amad during his time as a coach at the club.
The Ivory Coast international appears to have denied that rumour with a recent post on Instagram. He shared an image of himself in a Sunderland shirt on Instagram along with a kissing emoji.
One person commented: "This means he's staying."
A second put: "Ten Hag can't afford to fumble this."
Someone added: "If he went it would've proven Sancho was right."
While another commented: "This is why I love him as a player."
United return to action against Newport County in the FA Cup on January 28.
