Man Utd sudden new favourites for Nice midfielder Jean Michael Seri

Manchester United are moving for Nice midfielder Jean Michael Seri.

The Mirror says United are leading a four-way Premier League chase for £35million Nice midfielder Seri.

United, Liverpool and Chelsea are all looking at the Ivory Coast central midfielder, with Manchester City also poised to join the chase.

Seri was set to join Barcelona last summer but that deal fell through, while Paris St Germain have been unable to sign him due to Financial Fair Play restrictions.

The 26-year-old has a €40m - £35m - release clause in his Nice contract, which has 18 months left to run, and is set to spark a scramble for his signature this summer.

Sources close to Seri say he wants to move to the Premier League, which would rule out PSG, leaving United, Liverpool, Chelsea and City to fight for his signature.
