THE agent of one of Manchester United’s top transfer targets sent fans into a frenzy after appearing to post a picture from Old Trafford on Instagram.
Borna Khoramdel, CEO of Arvand Sport – the agency that represents Porto star Mehdi Taremi – posted an image of United’s badge on Wednesday morning.

He also tagged Old Trafford with the picture.
Man Utd fans were quick to react to the post, with one person tweeting: “That’s his agent lol. What is he doing in Old Trafford?”
Another added: “Finally, we could have a proper striker at last.”
A third wrote: “ITS HAPPENING!!”
While a fourth commented: “Let’s goooo.”
Despite the agent’s huge transfer hint, the Manchester Evening News claim he wasn’t actually at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils first expressed an interest in signing Taremi at the beginning of July.
He is viewed as an alternative attacking option to Harry Kane, who is understood to be far too expensive for Erik ten Hag.
Porto will entertain offers of at least £17million for the 30-year-old striker.
Man Utd are also in need of a goalkeeper following David De Gea’s departure.
Andre Onana is said to be on the verge of joining the club from Inter Milan in a deal worth around £40m.
