Manchester United 'join Chelsea in race for Ibrahim Sangare'

Manchester United are reportedly set to join Chelsea in the race to sign PSV Eindhoven's Ibrahim Sangare this summer.

The 24-year-old defensive midfielder has been a first-team regular for the Dutch outfit since joining the club from Toulouse in September 2020, recording five goals and six assists in 88 games across all competitions.

Chelsea are understood to have identified Sanagre as a potential midfield target this summer, with the long-term futures of N'Golo Kante and Jorginho believed to be uncertain.

However, Sky Sports News claims that the Blues will face competition from Erik ten Hag's Man United for the Ivorian's signature.

The report adds that Sanagre is keen to move to England this summer and is convinced he will join a Premier League club ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.

The midfielder is also thought to have a €35m (£29.9m) release clause in his contract, which is due to expire in June 2025.

Sanagre, who has also been linked with Liverpool and Newcastle United, helped PSV defeat Ajax 2-1 to win the 2021-22 KNVB Beker.
