MANCHESTER UNITED are plotting a shock summer move for wantaway Chelsea starlet Callum Hudson-Odoi, according to reports.
The Blues winger is refusing to sign a new deal in West London but has already been told he will NOT leave Stamford Bridge in the next transfer window.
The 18-year-old handed in a transfer request in January to try and force through a move to Bayern Munich, who remain in pole position to land the teen.
Liverpool were thought to be keen on Hudson-Odoi, but now fierce rivals United are now also preparing to bid for him at the end of the season, according to the Times.
Hudson-Odoi’s recent breakthrough into the England first team has only hardened his resolve to leave, but the report adds that he won’t be allowed to leave this summer.
The youngster believes that he needs first-team football to continue his development and could well follow Jadon Sancho and Reiss Nelson to Germany.
Hudson-Odoi was one of the England players targeted by racist abuse in Montenegro on Monday night.
Uefa have opened a probe into alleged monkey chants from some sections of supporters aimed at Danny Rose, Raheem Sterling and the Chelsea starlet.
But the youngster was articulate and calm in his response to the chanting, while calling on the authorities to do more over discrimination.
He said: “We are equal and play a fair game and enjoy it, but when you hear that it’s not right and it’s unacceptable and hopefully Uefa deal with it because when I was over there me and Rosey heard it.
“They were saying ‘ooh ooh ah’ monkey stuff so you just have to keep your heads and keep a strong mentality and hopefully Rosey is okay. If anything we will have a chat but he is a strong guy as well.
“Hopefully Uefa will do something about it. It’s not right.
“I was enjoying the game and to hear it is never right but you have to have a strong mentality.”
