Incoming Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has identified N’Golo Kante as a key transfer target this summer.
Chelsea midfielder Kante, 31, has one year remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge having joined the Blues from Leicester in 2016.
According to the Mirror, Ten Hag sees the French World Cup winner as the perfect fit for his preferred playing style and will attempt to convince Old Trafford chiefs to table a bid.
Kante has made 40 appearances for the West Londoners in all competitions this term and was a second-half substitute in Saturday’s FA Cup final which saw Thomas Tuchel’s side lose on penalties to Liverpool.
The Red Devils are in need of midfield reinforcements with Paul Pogba set to leave the club.
Reports in Italy say Pogba’s representatives are due to meet Juventus club officials next week to discuss a free transfer, with Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain also interested in acquiring the Frenchman’s services.
United also expect to miss out on Barcelona ace Frenkie de Jong, who is said to prefer a move to Manchester City to work under Pep Guardiola’s tutelage say the Sun.
