Man Utd prepared to bid for Hudson-Odoi ahead of Sancho

Manchester United are ready to bid for Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi.

The Daily Mail says Hudson-Odoi, 18, is wanted, though the complications of getting him out of Chelsea this summer, when the club face a transfer ban, means that there is an acceptance that United may have to wait until next year.

Nevertheless, United now look to be the most serious rivals to Bayern Munich in the bidding for Hudson-Odoi this summer.

Chelsea insist they will not sell, even though his contract runs out in 2020 and there are no signs of him signing a new deal. Jadon Sancho, 19, is the alternative target but, having signed a deal with Borussia Dortmund until 2022, he will be harder to lure.
