Bakayoko was reportedly set for a move to Chelsea, but if Manchester United pull the plug on them once again, it will be a sad picture in the Blues’ camp.

According to The Times, Jose Mourinho’s side are set to outbid Chelsea to lure the Frenchman to the red half of Manchester. Bakayoko played a decisive season last term, and his impact helped Monaco win the Ligue 1, as well as reach the Champions League semi-finals.

If he does join Mourinho’s Red Army, then this will be the second time this summer that the Mancunian club will snatch a player from right under Chelsea’s nose. Romelu Lukaku joined United in a similar fashion, despite being in pole position to sign for the London giants, who were considered the favourites.
Bakayoko will be a vital addition for any side he joins, as his presence and tactical awareness is something that has garnered a lot of interest. The Red Devils are also linked with a host of other midfielders, including Eric Dier, Fabinho, and Nemanja Matic.
