Will Manchester United get him?

The allure of Manchester United might outweigh Chelsea’s long-term project potential with promising young stars. Erik ten Hag, who is looking to bolster his roster with a new midfielder, will be hoping this is the case throughout the pursuit.

Both clubs from the Premier League are still in the running for Kone, although they may face competition from other teams in the future. The 21-year-old Bundesliga star will finish the season strong with Borussia Monchengladbach before considering his options this summer.
