According to a report by Eurosport, via West Ham Central, the Irons are displaying an interest in Manchester United duo Nemanja Matic and Phil Jones - prompting much horror from many supporters on social media.
The Red Devils pair, making just 11 Premier League starts between them over 2020/2021, are now believed to be of interest to West Ham United as 'transfer insider' Dean Jones makes a claim.
Writing for Eurosport, the journalist says that West Ham are 'checking out' both Jones and Matic ahead of a possible swoop - but it is believed they will command over £120,000-per-week each.
Given the financial uncertainty caused by coronavirus, combined with West Ham's desire to secure Lingard on a permanent deal and the signing of a new striker (Claret & Hugh), supporters have fumed in response to this alleged interest.
As Jones (29) and Matic (32) near the twilight phase of their careers and play in positions arguably now well stocked by West Ham, it's little wonder Irons fans really aren't impressed with this update.
Find a flavour of their verdicts from social media down below.
