Confirmed: Ten hag reveals his first signing will come from Chelsea team ,as he makes contact with Chelsea star over shocking move ,as he reveals player by mentioning name .
Manchester United's new manager
Erik ten Hag is reportedly interested
in signing Chelsea midfielder N'Golo
Kante. The Dutchman is expected to
dismantle and rebuild a United squad
that has endured a dismal 2021-22
campaign.
According to the Mirror, Ten Hag wants
to begin his revolution at Old Trafford
by signing Kante. The 52-year-old believes
the Frenchman's energy, tenacity and
experience would bolster United's
midfield, which the team must improve
this summer.
Kante rose to prominence during his
time with Leicester City, winning the
2015-16 Premier League title.
He joined Chelsea the following summer
and won another league title and the
'Premier League Player of the Season'
award in his debut season. The Frenchman
has also won a UEFA Champions League
, UEFA Europa League, FA Cup and
a FIFA Club World Cup.
Kante could be an 'attainable target' for
United, as opposed to the likes of
Tchouameni and Declan Rice. Chelsea
manager Thomas Tuchel is likely to be
provided with a sizeable transfer budget
by new owner Todd Boehly, whose
£4.25 billion takeover has been approved
by the UK government and the
Premier League.
The Blues could be set to make many
additions to their squad, which could
see Kante leaving. The 31-year-old has
just one year remaining in his contract
, so the Blues could cash in on him
this summer.
United could make a move for the
midfielder despite interim manager Ralf
Rangnick's criticism of the club's decision
to sign players who are entering the
twilight of their careers.
Manchester United's move
for N'Golo Kante could depend
on Chelsea's pursuit of Declan Rice
Despite Kante having just one year remaining
in his contract, Chelsea are unlikely to
entertain selling the midfielder unless
they sign an adequate replacement
this summer.
West Ham United star Declan Rice
has emerged as a target for Chelsea and
Manchester United recently. The England
international is unlikely to join United,
as they'll not be in next season's UEFA
Champions League and face an uncertain
future under Ten Hag.
Rice recently turned down (as per Sky
Sports) an eight-year contract offer from
West Ham, which included a £200,000
per week salary package. He's keen to
join a club that'll give him the opportunity
to play in the Champions League and
win silverware. So Rice could be keen
to join Thomas Tuchel's team.
Manchester United's chances of signing
Kante this summer could improve if
Chelsea acquire Rice.
