Most footballers put themselves in the shop window for a transfer with their performances on the pitch.

But if you're Keisuke Honda, you do it via Twitter.

The Japanese forward is currently without a club, and has taken unusual steps in order to get himself fixed up.

On Friday he tweeted Manchester United, saying: "Give me an offer. I don't need money but I need to play with great team and great team mate!"

And now he has taken to Twitter again in an effort to find a new club - this time reaching out to former club AC Milan.

"I have always wanted to help you. Call me when you need me! @acmilan" he tweeted.

The Italian side, for whom he played 92 times between 2014 and 2017, could do with a few new players after a disastrous start to the season.

They sit 16th in Serie A having lost their last three matches including a 3-1 defeat to Fiorentina on Sunday.

Honda spent last season with Melbourne Victory in Australia, for whom he scored seven goals in the A-League.

His career has also taken in spells at Nagoya Grampus, VVV-Venlo in the Netherlands, CSKA Moscow and Mexican side Pachuca.

The attacker made 97 appearances for Japan, scoring 37 goals and played in three World Cups.
