The 2019 Virat Tweet of fan

The tweet has gone viral and has come up with hilarious reactions from other fans, who have been left stunned by the extraordinary accuracy of the claim. Some reactions to the tweet are “got any lottery numbers?”, “bro which model of the time machine are you using?”, “you can’t convince me that he’s not a time traveler”, and “you’ve got the time stone yeah?”

Record Premier League signings
In terms of record Premier League signings, only Paul Pogba’s return to United in 2016, Chelsea’s £97.5m re-signing of Romelu Lukaku last summer, and Manchester City’s £100m deal for Jack Grealish, in 2021, have cost more.
The 22-year-old becomes United’s fifth signing of the summer, following the arrivals of his former Ajax team-mate, defender Lisandro Martinez, midfielder Casemiro from Real Madrid, full-back Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord, and playmaker Christian Eriksen on a free transfer from Brentford.
Manchester United have tweeted, “An agreement has been reached for the transfer of @Antony00 #MUFC,” on their official Twitter account.
