MANCHESTER UNITED KEEN ON SIGNING ANTONIO RUDIGER FROM CHELSEA ON FREE TRANSFER THIS SUMMER

There are indications that Manchester United are eager to sign Antonio Rudiger from Chelsea on a free transfer this summer.

Rudiger is into the final months of his current deal at Stamford Bridge and has already rejected several offers from the Blues, with Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain also keen on signing him.

While Rudiger is reportedly seeking a deal worth £400,000-a-week, United believe it could cost them more to bring in a player of RUDIGERS calibre if they are to make a major change at the back this summer.

More reports say United interim manager, RALF RANGNICK has publicly backed HARRY MAGUIRE, but is exploring options to replace the England international in central defence.
