Manchester United fans thought they had a new midfielder after Weston McKennie posted a snap of himself in a Red Devils kit on social media.

The Juventus player looked to have dropped a major transfer hint with an odd piece of Facebook activity.

The former Leeds loanee changed the Facebook 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 set to join the Premier League giants.

Raging Sir Jim Ratcliffe

It comes after leaked emails have revealed Sir Jim Ratcliffe's anger at standards at Man Utd.

The Ineos owner has blasted the uncleanliness of the club, even saying that it was, in some parts, a 'disgrace'.

The billionaire has been revamping the face of the club, ushering in a new executive team along with chief Sir Dave Brailsford.

Now leaked emails have shown the Nice owner's displeasure with the state of the club -

with the IT department and the youth team dressing rooms, being highlighted as huge issues.

The Daily Mail revealed that the emails said: "I had a good two-day visit to both Carrington and Old Trafford this week. As ever I was made to feel very welcome. Thank you.

"I had a good tour around some of the facilities. I am afraid I was struck in many places by a high degree of untidiness. In particular the IT department which frankly was a disgrace and the dressing rooms of the U18 and U21 were not much better.

"These standards would not come close to what we would expect at INEOS and we are a chemical company. Manchester United is an elite sporting organisation.

"It's a small thing in many ways but unless an organisation has standards and discipline it will not succeed."

Ratcliffe added: "I would be grateful in future if we adopt the proper standards of housekeeping everywhere.

"It reflects poorly on the club if we have visitors, young player parents, new players and the media and they see we don't care enough to keep things shipshape."
