Watkins Deep in Instagram Drama…
Hold on to your shin pads, football fanatics! Ollie Watkins, the Aston Villa goal-scoring gizmo, just set the transfer rumor mill spinning faster than a winger on Red Bull, by liking one of Mason Mount’s pic-a-likes on the gram! Mount, who pulled off an impressive comeback akin to Lazarus last season, is gearing up with the Red Devils, while Watkins garners goo-goo eyes from Manchester United AND Newcastle United! It’s like choosing between two halves of a perfectly-cooked football pie!
Over at the Toon party, Newcastle is tossing their hat into the Watkins’ wooing ring like they’re hosting a striker-tastic talent show. Meanwhile, the Red Devils are still wiping away tears after Liam Delap decided to samba his way to Chelsea instead. As managers play musical chairs with players’ future, Watkins’ social media moves have become the hottest gossip since Ronaldo’s turtleneck saga.
And speaking of virtual volleys, Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha have also been spotted shoehorning their emojis into Mount’s comment section. Bruno threw in a cheeky Beckham GIF, perhaps tipping his hat (or headband) to Mount’s shiny No.7. While Cunha, fresh from Wolverhampton, sprinkled some fire-and-heartfelt love emoji magic. It’s a digital soap opera where a simple photo like is like hitting the transfer rumor jackpot!
