SunSport understand United, the Blues and Spurs have been embroiled in a major bidding war for the versatile winger’s signature during the summer transfer window.
However, the Premier League trio are facing stiff competition from Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain for the France Under-21 international.
Doue is a “top priority” for both Chelsea and Tottenham, who have already held talks with the player’s camp as well as Rennes.
Negotiations are still “ongoing” between the Prem giants and the teenage sensation as well as his club.
Both London rivals are so keen on the Frenchman that they want a deal to be sealed by next week.

Meanwhile, United are also “hot” on Doue and continue to monitor his situation.
