Kostas Manolas, a primary target for Chelsea, may be moving to Manchester United if reports from Gianluca Di Marzio are true. The Italian journalist has revealed that the Old Trafford club has spoken to the agent of the player regarding a potential move.

For quite a few weeks now, the Greek international has been linked with a move to Chelsea given that the incoming boss Antonio Conte is said to be a big fan. However, the report states that Manchester United has overtaken Chelsea and has spoken to the agent in the last few days. This puts the Red Devils as the leading club to sign the defender.

Manchester United are looking to revamp their squad again this summer as Louis Van Gaal’s transfer from last season has hardly delivered any results. They are definitely looking for a natural central defender who can partner with Chris Smalling at the back next season.
