Manchester United want to hijack a move for Chelsea target Malo Gusto and welcome the highly-rated Lyon right-back to Old Trafford instead - according to reports.
After going on a spending spree already this month, the Blues are eyeing-up a swoop for the 19-year-old who has played 15 games in Ligue 1 this season. However, with the January deadline now on the horizon, United are said to have launched their own pursuit for him, as per reports from RMC Sport.
Gusto is understood to have agreed personal terms with Chelsea, but United are reported to have told him to think about his decision amid late interest from Old Trafford. Gusto is said to prefer a switch to Chelsea - at this stage - having impressed this term.
