Manchester United are eyeing up a shock transfer move to sign Chelsea full-back Cesar Azpilicueta.

A number of top clubs are in the hunt for the Spaniard, who has a contract at Stamford Bridge until 2019.

Azpilicueta found some of the best form of his career under Jose Mourinho, and the Portuguese tactician is now keen on a link-up with him again at Old Trafford.

According to AS, Paris Saint-Germain and Athletic Bilbao are also looking at the 26-year-old this summer.


The report adds that Chelsea’s new manager Antonio Conte could be willing to sell Azpilicueta as he plans changes ahead of his first season in charge.
