Barcelona meeting explained
Eyebrows have been raised this week with Manchester United chiefs John Murtough and Matt Hargreaves both being spotted in Barcelona. There were suggestions that the pair could be in town for transfer talks with the Catalan giants - particularly with Mason Greenwood a reported Catalan target.
However, it appears that transfer negotiations were not on the agenda. According to reports, the pair were only in Spain for what has been described as a ‘routine meeting’.
Despite that, Barcelona are still trying to get a deal for Greenwood over the line. It is suggested that they have acquired information on the striker and are aware that the Red Devils are interested in a clutch of their own academy prospects.
Amad fires back at exit talk
Amad Diallo has assured fans that his recent social media activity has nothing to do with a potential exit. The Ivorian got fans talking after deleting every mention of the Red Devils from his Instagram account.
His Twitter account bio was also changed to "this will all end". Amad however has explained the reason behind the change. He said: "I've deactivated my social media for a month just to focus on Ramadan. Stop the hatred, there's nothing wrong with what I did. It's holy month for me and social media is a place where there are bad things to see during fasting."
