Sometimes you see a player get involved in a clever publicity stunt to bring their name back into the media’s attention as they attempt to find themselves a new club. Sometimes they just make a direct and desperate appeal on social media.
This has to be one of the stranger “transfer rumours” to appear for a while, and it makes absolutely no sense for the club involved.
Keisuke Honda was outstanding for CSKA Moscow and AC Milan a few years ago when he was at his peak. He’s currently without a club after ending a successful spell in Australia with Melbourne Victory.
He’s clearly still looking to play, as shown below by his Twitter appeal to Manchester United urging them to sign him:
Give me an offer. I don't need money but I need to play with great team and great team mate! @ManUtd @ManUtd_JP

It’s hard to tell if he would’ve been a good signing when he was at his peak, but there’s absolutely no way he would be able to make a positive at Old Trafford in his current state.
He’s probably done what he set out to do, he’s got some free publicity and made the world aware he’s still looking for a club. That claim he would be willing to play for free might not help him if he does come to negotiating a contract with any prospective club in the future.
