Manchester United have now joined Chelsea and Juventus in the hunt for highly rated French midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni.

The central midfielder was involved for France during their recent UEFA Nations League triumph against Spain.

The Monaco whizkid is wanted by a host of top European clubs, while United may see him as a replacement for want-away star Paul Pogba.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, United, Chelsea, and Juve are all keen on Tchouameni.

He said on the Here We Go Podcast: "Today we had rumours about Real Madrid.

"Manchester United were not trying to sign Tchouameni last summer.

"So they were not negotiating with Monaco for Tchouameni.

"There were many rumours but he was on the list of Man United, he's a player they are scouting with many, many players but they were not negotiating for him.

"Chelsea and Juventus have this player in their list.

"For example, I told you about nothing with [Donny] Van de Beek at the moment, they are looking for a different player like Tchouameni.

"Chelsea have this player in their list so keep an eye on Chelsea and Juventus and we'll see what Real Madrid will do in this position."
