Manchester United target Saul Niguez sets tongues wagging with cryptic tweet teasing a 'new club'... but Atletico Madrid's £70m-rated man says his lips are sealed for three days

Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez has caused a stir after posting a rather cryptic tweet that he would announce a 'new club' in three days.

The Spain international was heavily linked with a £70million move to Manchester United, particularly before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

But the 25-year-old - who has played 37 times for Diego Simeone's men this season and scored four goal - insisted he would not reveal his cards until that 72-hour period was over.

To tease a new club on Twitter three days in advance for a player of Saul's stature would be an unpredecented move.
