The Old Trafford outfit are known to want to overhaul their strike options with Zlatan Ibrahimovic out with a long-term injury and Wayne Rooney set to leave the club.

The 19-year-old is out of contract in the summer after spending the season at Vitesse.

Solanke is keen for further first-team football and recognises he would be well down the pecking order on his return to Stamford Bridge.

Champions Celtic are tracking Spain Under-19 and Real Madrid B forward Dani Gomez, 18, who would cost £3m.
