Manchester United 'prepare a bid to pry Joao Felix away from Chelsea' with Graham Potter's side not a having a purchase option in their loan agreement despite being hopeful of keeping the forward at Stamford Bridge

Manchester United will attempt to pry Joao Felix away from Chelsea when his loan deal ends this summer according to reports.

The 23-year-old made a loan move to Stamford Bridge from Atletico Madrid in January in a deal that does not include a purchase option for Graham Potter's side.

Despite this, the club are hopeful of signing the Portugal international once his loan deal expires, with former Blues star Frank Leboeuf suggesting the club could offload Christian Pulisic and Mason Mount to make way for Felix.

However, Felix's bright performances in an otherwise struggling side have led to United boss Erik ten Hag monitoring his situation closely.
