Thomas Tuchel is unwilling to let N'Golo Kante leave for Manchester United as Erik ten Hag targets the Chelsea midfielder.
The Red Devils have made it clear they would like to pursue a deal for the Frenchman in the upcoming transfer window as his contract runs out next summer. Chelsea risk letting him leave as a free agent in 12 months' time unless he signs a new deal.
But Tuchel will need to be persuaded if he is to part ways with the midfielder, especially to a Premier League rival, according to The Athletic. The German still sees Kante as influential as other world-class players such as Kylian Mbappe, Kevin De Bruyne and Mohamed Salah.
