This revelation has left plenty of Man United fans in complete and utter disbelief.
There are some fans who have taken this as an opportunity to criticise the 27-year-old and his agent Mino Raiola.

With all of this in mind, it isn’t hard to see why United fans are surprised, as this type of attitude is delusional.
