Manchester United fans have reacted to the club's latest transfer target reports following Manchester City's Champions League final win.
City completed the treble on Saturday night after beating Inter Milan 1-0 in Istanbul - repeating the feat United achieved 24 years ago.
And as Manchester's blue side prepare for the final, there has been uncertainty at Old Trafford about a possible takeover of the club.
Fabrizio Romano has claimed the ongoing takeover process has an impact on what United can do in the transfer window, although The Athletic claim their budget will be £100m regardless of the purchase.

One area that United will likely need to focus on is the goalkeeping department. Although David de Gea is in talks about signing a new contract, Nottingham Forest is keen on Dean Henderson, and loanee Jack Butland is set to join Rangers.
After the final, The Sun's Alan Nixon reported that United wanted a £30m summer transfer for Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
On the surface, interest has a lot of logic behind it. Now an experienced England international and having made over 200 Premier League appearances, the 29-year-old could provide strong competition for De Gea.
A quick keeper, Pickford is capable of making spectacular saves and has earned praise from manager Sean Dyche for his form during the break for Everton. But some United fans are unhappy with the prospect of the England star moving to Old Trafford - and have reacted accordingly on social media.

Another added:
"I don't think today could get any worse."
And a third fan said:
"I don't think Pickford is an improvement over what we already have."
Meanwhile, a fourth fan exclaimed:
"I don't know how it helps with the build-up, but that's okay."
Another person wrote:
"Ten Hag saw Onana's performance and said pick Pickford."

However, other fans supported the potential signing, with one saying:
"If Ten Hag wants him, let him come. He plays well for England at the highest level and is excellent with the ball at his feet."
Another added:
"Why is everyone acting like Pickford is a bad GK? I remember everyone reacting the same way when Arsenal wanted to sign [Aaron] Ramsdale."
And one Everton fan said:
"Jordan Pickford is one of the three best goalkeepers in the league. United would be lucky to have him."
