Man Utd fans think they’ve made first transfer as former Leeds star posts pic in Red Devils shirt and says ‘I’m here’
MANCHESTER UNITED fans believe they have uncovered their first summer signing after Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie bizarrely changed his Facebook profile photo.
The American, 25, is preparing to enter the final 12 months of his contract this summer after four years in Italy.
And he appeared to drop a major hint about a transfer away from Juventus with a strange bit of social media activity on Friday.
Ex-Leeds loanee McKennie‘s official Facebook page changed its profile picture to an image of him in a Man Utd shirt.
Alongside it was a caption that simply read: “I’m here!”
This led many Man Utd supporters to the conclusion that he was arriving at Old Trafford in the coming months – nearly two years after he was first linked with the move.
One said: “I think United were linked with him on a certain deadline day!.. Must have taken the picture then thinking it’ll work out lol.”
Another added: “He loves this club.”
A third replied: “Won’t be a bad signing tbh.”
While a fourth responded: “He coming.”

And a fifth said: “
If true, it would mean we want to finally replace Fred.”
McKennie has scored 13 goals and assisted a further 15 in 131 appearances for Juventus since arriving from Schalke.
He played 20 times while on loan at Leeds during the second half of last season, but failed to help them avoid relegation.
Man Utd are set to employ a “sell-to-buy” transfer strategy in the summer window as new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe continues to take hold of football operations at the club.
It is understood they will listen to offers for all but three of the squad.
