Antoine Griezmann's brother has done nothing - nothing - to quell rumours that the 25-year-old is on his way to Manchester United.

The Atletico Madrid forward has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League in recent weeks, and as The Independent reported a fortnight ago, United are increasingly confident of securing a deal for the Frenchman in the summer.

On Tuesday night, Griezmann's brother Theo tweeted a not-so-cryptic aerial photo of Old Trafford which the Manchester Evening News reports has left United fans feeling "giddy" at the prospect he might be on his way sooner than July.

At the other end of photos on social media affecting emotions, one from Paris St-Germain's Twitter account will be leaving United fans feeling somewhat sadder than Theo Griezmann's.

The below image shows Gonçalo Guedes completing his move from Benfica to the French champions in the early hours of Wednesday.

Guedes, labelled the "new Cristiano Ronaldo" had been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford but decided to opt for the riches of Paris instead.

Another man being linked with United is Southampton defender Virgil Van Dijk, but it looks like he won't be going anywhere this month after picking up a calf strain against Leicester last weekend.

The Sun reports the Dutchman could be out for up to three months.

And finally, the BBC reports that QPR have agreed a deal of £500,000 to take youngster Sean Goss off United's hands on a permanent basis.
