Tiemoue Bakayoko to Manchester United: Fans troll Chelsea on Twitter over transfer hijack

Chelsea have been pursuing the Monaco ace for a number of weeks as Antonio Conte looks to add depth to his midfield.

However, with talks having stalled recently it is understood that the Blues are in danger of being beaten to Bakayoko’s signature by Manchester United .

Jose Mourinho has already got one over his former employers by persuading Romelu Lukaku to join him in a £75million move from Everton instead of returning to Stamford Bridge, and the Portuguese boss could be set to strike again.

Bakayoko is high on Conte’s list of summer transfer targets, but Chelsea’s inability to get a deal over the line has left United with a shot at stealing the 22-year-old.

Red Devils fans understandably find the situation rather amusing, having already laughed at Chelsea’s expense over the transfer saga surrounding Lukaku’s move.
