Manchester United fans demand Thomas Partey transfer following impressive Ghana display at AFCON

Some Manchester United fans are demanding the club make a move for Atletico Madrid's Thomas Partey after the midfielder's performance in Ghana's AFCON opener.

The 26-year-old impressed despite Ghana being held to a 2-2 draw by Benin in Egypt.

United have previously been linked with a move for Partey as they look to strengthen their options in midfield ahead of the new season.

Asked about potentially leaving Atletico last month, he said: "It's hard for me to talk about transfers because the next minute it will be like 'Thomas is trying to leave' but for me playing football is what makes me happy.

"I don't know what the future holds for me but as long as I play and they are happy with me here then there is no need flirting with others."

There was plenty of reaction on Twitter to Partey's performance against Benin and here are just a few tweets about him from United supporters.

Proper player.

He's on his way.

Do us all a favour.

It's not worth crying over.
