Manchester United are interested in Miralem Pjanic and are preparing to compete against Chelsea to sign the player.

Jose Mourinho’s former club Chelsea has been linked with Pjanic for quite some time now and if recent reports are anything to go by then the Blues better hurry. Manchester United are reported to be ready to swoop in and steal the midfielder from right under the nose of Chelsea.

Pjanic has been a key player for Roma for a few years now and this season the player has scored 12 goals. As a midfielder, he is proficient in creating chances, a trait which Untied lacked last season under Louis Van Gaal. However, he is also wanted by several other clubs across Europe other than Chelsea. The player is valued at £30 million, but should not be a big challenge for Manchester United to meet that. If Jose Mourinho is looking for someone who can create goal scoring chances regularly, then Pjanic is definitely in the consideration set.
