Barcelona forward, Raphinha reportedly feels betrayed by a teammate which has signalled a boost for Manchester United in their quest to sign the Brazilian.

However, their pursuit of Viktor Gyokeres seems to have come to an end after the striker told them where to go.
On Monday, Spanish publication, Fichajes reported that the Red Devils had made an absolutely astounding offer of €150m [£127m] for Raphinha.
According to the Spanish publication as reported by Football 365, Williams’ impending move to Barcelona has prompted Raphinha to “threaten to leave since he doesn’t approve of the deal and fears dropping down in the hierarchy.
There is now an ‘added element of tension,’ according to another Spanish article, and Raphinha is not pleased with the part Lamine Yamal has played in attracting Williams to the club.
Following the initial negotiations to sign the 22-year-old, Yamal shared a photo of himself with Williams on social media.
Yamal and Williams are known to have a close bond that was forged during their time playing together for the Spanish national team.
