This wasn't lost on supporters

Griezmann incoming?

Paul Pogba was very liberal with the fuel he poured on the “Antoine Griezmann to Manchester United” fire on Wednesday night.

In the wake of United’s 2-0 victory over Ajax in the Europa League final, Pogba sent supporters’ hearts racing with one of his first celebratory Instagram posts.

The significance of Pogba’s dance in the below video was not lost on United fans.

Supporters couldn’t help but notice the similarity between Pogba’s dance and the famous goal celebration of Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann, who just so happens to be United’s top target this summer.

Pogba motioned with his hand just like Griezmann does each time he finds the net, which is a nod to Drake’s hit song Hotline Bling.

Pogba captioned the post with the words “Next season” which surely suggests that he expects his French compatriot to join him at Old Trafford when the transfer window opens.

Another aspect of the post that is intriguing, to say the least, is the fact that it was liked by none other than Griezmann himself.

That’s enough evidence for us… Antoine Griezmann is definitely joining Manchester United.

Instagram wouldn’t lie to us.
