'Being used again' - Manchester United fans react after link with Chelsea target Kai Havertz

Chelsea's competition for Kai Havertz has been revealed.

The Blues are long-time admirers of the Bayer Leverkusen star, with the midfielder said to be open to a move to the Premier League.

Yet they will have to act quickly to secure the 20-year-old's signature, with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Liverpool, Manchester United and Bayern Munich also said to be keen.

Chelsea are boosted by the fact that some of those clubs may be hoping to sign Havertz next summer, whilst may figure in the Blues' plans for the next transfer window despite their own move for Timo Werner.

However, the news of Havertz being of interest to all six clubs has got Manchester United fans speculating on whether he may be tempted to Old Trafford.

Here is what United fans have said about rivalling Chelsea for Havertz.

Hargav: Let's go Man United!

Amar: United are not really interested in him. It's a link to make Bayern pay up. Greenwood is better than him and they play in the same positions. Give us Sancho!

Glory Boy: He's not coming to Man United.

Riot: Imagine if United sign Sancho and Havertz.

Giggs Edition: United just being used again. Most probably going to end up at Bayern or Madrid.

Kip: Man United in the race til they finish sixth.

Ben: United fans on here talking like they're in the running. The only way you could sign a player like him or Sancho with Ole as your manager is to give them £300k a week to convince them. Worked great with Pogba and Sanchez.

MUFC Tony: Havertz provides competition and high-quality depth at CM, AM, right-wing, left-wing, centre-forward. His versatility would be heavily utilised by United. Good player!

OrMUFC: It would be a dream.

Rahi: He won't complete anything. Physically weak and slow for the EPL. Just imagine the current Ozil but taller, don't believe the YouTube videos. Grealish is far more complete.

Kia: Why though? Aren't we moving towards a 4-3-3? Is he gonna play on the right wing? Is ole gonna use him as a false nine?
