Manchester United turn focus to Chelsea's N'Golo Kante

Manchester United want to sign Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante, according to The Mirror.

Perhaps thinking that he would provide balance alongside options such as Paul Pogba, Bruno Fernandes and Donny van de Beek, United are hoping to bring him to Old Trafford.

However, they are reportedly demanding that he take a cut of his £300,000-a-week wages to complete the move.

The World Cup winner is also a target for Internazionale, with Antonio Conte keen to be reunited with a player he managed from his Chelsea days. The Blues have brought in over £200m of new additions this summer and, somewhat surprisingly, Kante is deemed surplus to requirements, with the club reportedly seeking to land West Ham's Declan Rice before the window closes on Oct. 5.
