Crazy news alert!!!
In a report according to the Express, Manchester United have already agreed on a deal with Monaco’s Tiemoue Bakayoko. Express, which sources its news from the Daily Star, claims that the Red Devils have agreed a £35 million deal for the French midfielder.
With Matic moving to United, Bakayoko looked all set to be join Chelsea. But now it looks as if the Matic deal has been called off by Conte as he is infuriated with the fact that he lost out on Lukaku.

And now Man Utd are supposedly adding insult to injury by targeting Bakayoko.
Tiemoue Bakayoko just finished his third season with Monaco since joining the club back in 2014 from Rennes. And in 2016-17, he was nothing short of a revelation. The 22-year-old played 51 games last season and was one of the key figures in helping the team reach the UCL semi-finals.
Just like Lukaku, the 22-year-old midfielder is one of the prime summer targets for Antonio Conte. But the Italian has already lost one battle and as per the news, he might very well lose another one.
The Football Fan Base view:
The report comes from the Express and the Daily Star, both very volatile and unreliable sources.
But having said that, this very unusual news is bound to grab a lot of eyeballs.
