TIEMOUE BAKAYOKO is at the centre of a transfer tug of war between Manchester United and Chelsea, but who else could the Red Devils sign if they miss out on the Monaco ace?
Chelsea had lined up Bakayoko as one of their priority signings this summer, but a deal stalled after the 22-year-old’s medical was delayed following keyhole surgery at the end of last season.
Manchester United threatened jump in and hijack the Blues’ transfer with it suggested they were willing to meet Monaco’s £40million valuation of the midfielder.
However the MaiiOnline today claim Bakayoko would prefer a move to Stamford Bridge over Old Trafford, meaning Jose Mourinho may need to find an alternative midfield target.
