Manchester United and Premier League rivals Chelsea are set to go head to head for several of their summer targets as both clubs look to rebuild ahead of next season.

Earlier it was revealed that Chelsea appear to have the edge on United in their pursuit of young striker Liam Delap.

The Ipswich Town striker is looking for a new club this summer to remain in the Premier League as The Tractor Boys are set for relegation to the Championship.

The 20-year-old is prioritising teams like Chelsea and Arsenal who can offer him European football next season.

Should United win the Europa League, securing a slot in the Champions League, the clubs would once more be on a level playing field for the £30 million striker.

However, it’s now reported that Chelsea could beat United to another mutual target, this time from the Bundesliga.

Chelsea lead the race for Jamie Gittens

Christian Falk has reported that Chelsea also have the edge in the race for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jamie Gittens.

Gittens has been a key member of the Dortmund side, grabbing 12 goals and five assists in 44 games.

Showing off his versatility, the 20-year-old has been used on both wings as well as making the odd appearance as a striker and in attacking midfield.

United have been linked with the attacker since January when looking for a replacement for Alejandro Garnacho amid interest from Chelsea and Napoli.

However The Red Devils have continued to monitor the star, despite moves for Garnacho falling through.

Unfortunately for United, as with many deals this summer, Gittens’ price tag may be too much for Ruben Amorim’s side.

Dortmund are wanting £83 million for their talented youngster which is above and beyond what United can afford with limited funds in the budget.

With financial barriers and uncertainty around European football next season, United are unfortunately falling down the pecking order for several of their key targets.
