CHELSEA star Cole Palmer has driven fans wild on social media with a cheeky comment on Manchester United ace Kobbie Mainoo's latest social media post.
Mainoo, 20, posted five pictures on Instagram which left a lot open for interpretation.
One showed him sitting with an expression that suggested he was deep in thought.
Two more showed him training by himself and another depicted him knuckling down in the gym alone in a manner that suggested he was really pushing himself.
One intriguing feature of Mainoo's post was the fifth picture that showed Miles Teller's character from Whiplash banging drums in despair with his bare fist.
And funnily enough that was a film about a rising star - played by Teller - that can never seem to satisfy his mentor... or coach.
Palmer, 23, was quick to comment on the post, saying "3 my boy", accompanied by a red love heart emoji - believed by some to mean "Free my boy [from Man Utd]".
That comment racked up over 10,000 likes in the first six hours of it being up, with some feeling like the Chelsea star thinks his England team-mate should leave United.
Fellow Man Utd stars Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee supported Mainoo on the post.
Both commented GIFs - Yoro used one of Mainoo celebrating and Zirkzee followed with anime character Goku regenerating in a tank.
Mainoo has hardly featured for the Red Devils this season, and wasn't selected by Thomas Tuchel for England's World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia.
The out-of-favour midfielder asked for a loan move away from Man Utd as the summer transfer window came to a close, but was told he must stay and fight for his place under Ruben Amorim.
The dynamic No8 was an unused substitute in the first two Premier League games against Arsenal and Fulham, before playing 45 minutes in Man Utd's only win of the season so far against Burnley.
Mainoo will be hoping his hard work is rewarded by Amorim with a start when the Red Devils take on Manchester City at the Etihad after the international break on September 14.

The Talented boy (Kobbie) is so loved but he’s gradually loosing it and Amorim feels for him cos he (Amorim) wants him, love him and see’s his future at Manchester United… which I believe that’s the only reason why he’s still with us at Manchester United…else… He’ll have also been kicked out…I just pray he (Kobbie) realizes this early enough before it’s too late.

this boy was happy when Eric was a coach and us fan's we like this boy the way he hold the ball and passing its 100% compare with some player and now amorin come to bench the boy. so he use bruno as a donkey 🫏 and that formation of defending with all 5 defenders must use 4-2-3-1 and give chances to the sesko kobbie and amad .now u put mount in a mumber 9 position were did he play that before? Amorin i see if u go like that that man u will suck u mark my words. its charlos from Namibia 🇳🇦 I followed this team for many years but the way u do I never see it

nye yaManU just change the formation...for Arsenal we just need to get rid of Odegaard as our Attacking midfielder because he's lacking flexibility towards the goal...

aee ruben kewete who to keep and who to sell..remember we have number 12 left back defend that he was aslo in the market..but he buy leon who ever he is did he make any appearance in premier league? and he wanted kobbie to go on loan as the request from the boy ..kobbie have to request because of him just on bench every game ..and one think I see he only need defender now to replace de-lit ..ohalikitha nai Maguire is better than him .amorin must pull his socks up otherwise he will go in the street even before january

God will immensely bless you my brother. Some of our fans are nothing but loads of shit!
we Manchester United fans are so impatient that we can't see beyond, most of us don't even have the gut to defend our club, instead we give other club fans who we are better than to keep making muckraking of us

most of the academy players have one thing in common that is why they will always be disrespected and criticized with no respect. be the judge of what I'm saying. I don't read any replys to my post because of language used.

Is it only Manchester United players that do post on their social media account, nowadays everyone, even the media wants to bring Manchester United down by all means, anything about Manchester United nowadays puts money in someone's pocket, even some Manchester United fans can't wait to bring their own club down by neither talking shit about their players or their coach, many big clubs didn't start well this season, but it's only Manchester United that their fans and the media are all asking for their head

All these academy players are all influenced by the overrated and overpaid Rashford, Lingard, Sancho, Garna etc.. Should just sell him to maintain some standard in the club.

I think Ruben has to let the boy go out on loan, it's difficult to harbor unhappy players. This also can bring him down.
