New Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is said to have chosen Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante as the main target of the summer.

Ten Hag will take over the leadership of the Red Devils from the new season, as a few weeks ago the agreement with him and Ajax was formalized.

However, the Dutch coach has already started thinking about the new job and the players he wants to work with.

He has also thought about new transfers and now the possible names that could be transferred to Old Trafford over the summer are starting to emerge.

According to

The Mirror

, Ten Hag has identified Chelsea star Kante as his first signing since taking over at United.

The midfielder has just one year left on his contract and could be open to a change of club after months of turmoil at Stamford Bridge.

United are already linked with Monaco youngster Aurelien Tchouameni and Barcelona star Ajax Frenkie de Jong as he seeks new faces to improve United's midfield.

England and West Ham star Declan Rice has also been linked with a move to Old Trafford, but it is too expensive.
