Manchester United fans react to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang transfer rumour

Manchester United fans are split on the transfer rumour linking Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with a shock summer move to Old Trafford.

Reports in Italy have suggest that United have identified Aubameyang as a replacement for Romelu Lukaku, should the Belgian striker complete his much touted switch to Serie A side Inter in the transfer window.

There is no doubt of the Gabon international's quality as he finished the previous season as joint top goal scorer in the Premier League alongside Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

His lightning quick pace would also suit the style Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's style down to a tee yet there are several problems with the rumour.

First and foremost, signing the 30-year-old would go against Solskjaer's transfer policy of signing young, talented players who still have plenty of potential - like Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

The striker also still has two years remaining on his current deal with at the Emirates and it doesn't seem likely that the Gunners will let him go on the cheap, especially as he is by far their best and most important player.

So United fans have had varying opinions on the transfer, you can see a selection of their reactions below:

Excited

A steal

Not enthusiastic

Why would they?

Never know!

Missed the chance

A great prospect
