Radja Nainggolan has reportedly turned down an approach to join Chelsea in the hope of becoming a Manchester United player.

The Roma midfielder is thought to have been the subject of a £28m bid from the Blues last week, despite recently claiming that he has no intention of leaving the Stadio Olimpico this summer.

It has since been suggested that the Italian outfit would instead hold out for a bigger offer from Chelsea but, according to Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Nicolo Schira, the 28-year-old will only considering joining Jose Mourinho at United.

Nainggolan, capped 18 times for Belgium at international level, joined Roma from Cagliari in 2014 for a fee of less than £3m.
