Manchester United were interested in signing Kante from Leicester City last summer.

However, the France international opted to move to Chelsea for £30million instead.

United then splashed out £89million to sign Paul Pogba from Juventus, with manager Jose Mourinho a known admirer.

Louis van Gaal wanted to bring N'Golo Kante to Manchester United

And Squawka claim United's decision to axe Van Gaal and replace him with Mourinho ended their hopes of signing Kante.

The Dutchman was keen to sign Kante after watching the midfielder shine for Leicester last season.

N'Golo Kante has helped Chelsea establish themselves as the best team in the country this season

But Mourinho's appointment changed all that with the former Real Madrid boss opting to pursue other targets.

United tied up deals for Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan swiftly in the summer.

And the Red Devils then moved for Pogba who joined from Juventus for a world-record fee just four years after leaving on a free transfer.
