#4 Manchester United want N'Golo Kante

Chelsea FC v Cardiff City - Premier League

According to CaughtOffside, Manchester United are plotting a move for Chelsea's midfield metronome N'Golo Kante.

With Nemanja Matic's form having faded and new signing Fred struggling to make an impact, Jose Mourinho eyes the Frenchman as the perfect man to shore up the crevices in the midfield.

Kante's current contract expires in 2021 and Chelsea have made it a priority to extend his deal in the coming weeks.

Manchester United are rumoured to be weighing up an audacious move to bring the Frenchman to Old Trafford, being totally aware of his status as one of the world's finest midfielders at the moment.

Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain have also been linked with the World Cup winner and it is more likely that Chelsea will allow him to go abroad rather than letting him join their direct rivals.
