Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain are also in the hunt to sign Bakayoko from Chelsea, but United look set to offer them stiff competition having already made an approach to land the Frenchman.
Arsenal’s interest in the former AS Monaco star is presented as less firm, but manager Unai Emery is understood to be an admirer of his talents.
Bakayoko spent the duration of last season on loan with Serie A giants AC Milan, where he caught the eye with some strong performances following a difficult maiden season in English football at Chelsea.
Whether or not Frank Lampard will decide to keep hold of the midfielder remains to be seen, but should the new manager opt to cash in on the player, it seems he will not be short of potential suitors.
