#12 Man United/Addidas Announce Paul Pogba
Trending
Another entry for Man United, although not strictly from their official account. When Pogba returned to Old Trafford for a world record transfer in 2016, it was the talk of social media for weeks.
Addidas jumped at the chance to create an announcement video and teamed the French midfielder up with rapper, Stormzy to simultaneously announce Pogba's transfer and promote Stormzy's new hit. I guess it was exciting for fans of both United and the London-based rapper, but a bit over the top for many others.
#11 Roma Announce Aleksandar Kolarov
A slight twist on the genre occurred last summer when Roma captured Aleksander Kolarov from Man City. The video shows a public relations advisor from Roma trying to convince the Serbian defender to engage in an over the top production to announce his arrival in Italy.
However, Kolarov is having none of it and just stands there stone-faced throughout the video. The series of emojis accompanying the video provide a hint at what was proposed. The idea of a kidnapping was central to the plot and while Kolarov didn't participate, our next entry was more than happy to play along...
#10 Sevilla Announce Jesus Navas
Another former Man City player, another bizarre 2017 announcement video. Jesus Navas left the Ethiad to return to Spain as a free agent last year and was part of an elaborate and crazy announcement video.
The tweet proudly announces that Jesus Navas is "ours!!" and shows the Spaniard being stalked before two kidnappers shove him in a car. The car pulls into the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán stadium and Navas, looking dazed, emerges onto the pitch to triumphantly show he signed for Sevilla.
