UK press reports revealed that Erik ten Hag has put Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante on a shortlist of Man Utd targets during the upcoming summer transfer market, especially as the player will enter his last season with the Blues.
According to the "Mirror" newspaper, Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag targets Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante as his first marquee signing in a summer overhaul at Old Trafford, especially after the departure of French duo Paul Pogba and Serbian Nemanja Matic.
Chelsea will learn if Real Madrid star Casemiro will be available this summer soon after the Champions League final.
