MARTIN SAMUEL: With Adrien Rabiot's move to Old Trafford going the same way as Marko Arnautovic's, Manchester United in 2022 have become a club of Twitter transfers, trials by TikTok and Facebook football

Ismaila Sarr scored for Watford from the halfway line. Almost instantly it was made known that Darren Fletcher of Manchester United was in the stand at West Brom, watching.

In the second-half Sarr took a poor penalty, easily saved. Is that United out now? Have they checked the reaction on social media? This is what seems to matter most these days.

It's the logical journey. United increasingly appear to sign players for their social media traction, so it figures that they will ditch others for the same reasons. Marko Arnautovic wasn't exactly trending positively at the start of the week, before that deal went dead.
