Manchester United winger Jesse Lingard is reportedly being chased by two of the club's Premier League rivals.

According to the Sun , Chelsea are ready to do battle with Arsenal for the winger's signature, and are preparing a summer bid.

Lingard has made 25 appearances under Jose Mourinho , and scored on his third consecutive Wembley appearance to help United land the EFL Cup with a 3-2 victory against Southampton last month.

And he could fit in well at Stamford Bridge, with Conte seeing him as an option at wing back or as a forward in the favoured 3-4-3 formation that has fired Chelsea to the top of the Premier League table.

Meanwhile, the future of goalkeeper David De Gea continues to produce column inches in England and Spain.

The United stopper remains a long term target for Real Madrid, who were thwarted by a fax machine in their attempt to sign him on the final day of the 2015 summer transfer window.

And the Mirror claims, via sources in Spain, that De Gea has been given a deadline of the first week in May to make a decision about his future.

The La Liga club remain keen to sign the United no.1 at the end of the season, but agent Jorge Mendes has met with De Gea to outline the situation.

Should De Gea not give Real Madrid a definite answer by that date, they are ready to turn to Thibaut Courtois as an alternative option.
