Chelsea fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief as their nightmare is over. The sanctions placed on them by the UK government have been removed and they have got American businessman Todd Boehly as their new owner. Now, the focus would turn on improving the squad for next season.

Chelsea have already lost Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen for free transfers and are in danger of losing Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta too. Now that the sanctions have been removed, the Blues can try to find suitable replacements in the market, and convince their players to stay.

Chelsea put Kante up for sale

However, the new owners have a specific vision in their mind, and it doesn’t seem like French World Cup Winner N’golo Kante is a part of that. The defensive midfielder has struggled with injuries this season and hasn’t featured in most of the club’s matches.

As a result, the club might be looking to cash out on him now, and Manchester United is a possible destination for him. The 31-year-old has just one year remaining on his contract and would be a great addition to this United side that needs reinforcements in midfield.

Scott McTominay and Fred are the club’s two midfielders right now, playing behind Bruno Fernandes. However, they have come under a lot of criticism and might lose their place in the team.

Manchester United trying to sign Frenkie de Jong

However, Kante isn’t the only world-class midfielder that Manchester United are linked with as they have been mulling a move for FC Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong. New United manager Erik Ten Hag has worked with De Jong at Ajax and wants him to form the core of this United team in the future.

A midfield trio of Bruno Fernandes, N’Golo Kante, and Frenkie de Jong seems like a fever dream for United fans who have seen the team play this season. It’ll be interesting to see if the Reds can pull this off, or whether it will be another season of mediocrity next year.
