Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace in January.

Guehi joined Palace from Chelsea a few seasons ago after finding that he was surplus to requirements at the Bridge.

However, the Palace captain has impressed since the move, and a number of top clubs are now looking to sign him.

Manchester United appear to be the frontrunners for the player, although South London Press claims that Chelsea may also be in the picture.

The Red Devils are prepared to offer Palace up to £50m for their captain, but the outlet says Chelsea have a clause in Guehi’s contract which gives them the right to match any offer that Palace accepts for the player.
