Manchester United transfer news: Chelsea target Hakan Calhanoglu dreams of Red Devils switch

Chelsea sent scouts to watch Calhanoglu in action last month and could launch a bid after seeing their 13-game winning run come to an end against Tottenham.

However, the set-piece specialist appears to have his sights set on a switch to fierce rivals United instead.

Jose Mourinho is scouring the market for more top talent and Calhanoglu’s precise passes could be just what he needs in his title bid.

The Turkey international is also open to joining Barcelona but insists he’s remaining focused on the task at hand with Leverkusen.

Calhanoglu told : “Barcelona and Manchester United are huge clubs, it would be difficult to turn them down.
