Thomas Partey's agents have deleted a post asking fans to vote for his next club and issued an apology.
JJ Sport Managers yesterday shared a post to Instagram saying 'pick his club' with Manchester United one of five options to pick from. The other options were Arsenal, Juventus, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.
The image was re-shared onto the account and was originally created by Transfermarkt.
United have been linked with a move for holding midfielder Partey, 26, for some time, and he has also been tipped for a move to Arsenal.
Now, JJ Sport have deleted the post and issued a statement to say they are conducting an internal investigation to determine how and why it was shared.
The statement read: "In view of the publication that was made today Wednesday 29 April 2020 on our Instagram account, regarding the future of our player Thomas Partey, from JJ Sport Managers we want to convey that this publication was not approved by the company management.
"An internal investigation has been opened to find out what exactly happened, we are sure that this has not been intentional on the part of any of our workers and it is probably an unfortunate mistake.
"The publication has been deleted as soon as we have become aware of its existence.
"In addition, the keys of all our social profiles have been modified to restrict access only to essential personnel."
Earlier this week, former United defender Rio Ferdinand told the club to pursue Partey this summer, saying: "I would maybe go and get Partey from Atletico Madrid or [Wilfred] Ndidi from Leicester, I like Saul Niguez, he's a very, very good player in midfield. And I do still think they need a centre-back."
