Jose Mourinho has identified Monaco's Tiemoue Bakayoko as his priority midfield summer target for Manchester United, but could accelerate a move for the youngster this month once Morgan Schneiderlin completes his £22 million transfer to Everton.

Mourinho sees Bakayoko, 22, as possessing the qualities to complement the more attack-minded Paul Pogba in midfield.

Monaco, who currently sit just two points adrift of Ligue 1 leaders Nice in second place, are determined to hold onto Bakayoko until the summer.

Chelsea are also monitoring Bakayoko.
