Alexis Sanchez‘s reported move to Manchester United seems imminent and the internet has once again preyed on fans desperate for a transfer to get over the line.
A screenshot of a fake Romelu Lukaku Snapchat post has been doing the rounds on social media.
The Arsenal star has been linked with Manchester City since last summer until Jose Mourinho swooped in over the weekend.
Various reports suggest that a deal has been agreed in principle to bring the Chilean to Old Trafford.
The post on the fake account featured just three emojis on a black background – the Chile flag and an arrow which was followed by the devil emoji.
The image has been circulating on Twitter and several fans reacted to it.

There were however several fans who realised the account was fake.
Lukaku’s Snapchat account is Romelu.Lukaku10 while the fake post has the name rLukaku9.
