Midfielder preferring United to Blues

Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan has dealt Chelsea a huge transfer blow by revealing he can’t decide between Stamford Bridge and Manchester United.

Nainggolan is one of the first players new Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has shown interest in since his appointment in West-London.

The 28-year-old is said to be happy to stay at Roma for the time being.

However, the report also states that should Nainggolan move in the future, he would be more open to joining United. The appointment of Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford is currently turning plenty of heads and this particular case could lead to Chelsea missing  out.

With Michael Carrick set to leave the club, Mourinho will need someone to control the centre of the pitch and Nainggolan is seen as the perfect replacement.

Roma are said to have demanded as much as ÂŁ35m for Nainggolan as they are loathe to part with him, especially with team-mate Miralem Pjanic also potentially leaving this summer.
