Erik ten Hag urged to sell four Man Utd stars and complete Joao Felix transfer ahead of Chelsea

Chelsea could face competition from Manchester United for the signing of Joao Felix on a permanent deal this summer. The Portuguese forward looks set to try and force his way out of Atletico Madrid ahead of next season after enjoying his loan spell at Stamford Bridge despite the Blues' poor form.

Felix has scored just two goals in 12 appearances for Chelsea since he arrived in January but his overall performances have been impressive. The 23-year-old will return to Atletico in the summer but he is expected to try and force another move away from Spain, with Chelsea hoping to agree a permanent deal with the Spanish outfit.

United are in need of a new centre-forward after Cristiano Ronaldo left the club prior to the World Cup and his Portuguese compatriot could be the right man. Erik ten Hag has a number of underperforming attackers at Old Trafford with Anthony Martial, Wout Weghorst, Jadon Sancho and Antony all suffering from poor form.
