Manchester United are reportedly plotting to hijack Chelsea's plan to buy a player who has been compared to David Beckham.

Beckham, part of the famous Class of 1992, went on to become one of the most famous players in history and was renowned as a dead-ball specialist and for his stunning crossing ability.

Stuttgart left-back Borna Sosa, who has compared himself to Beckham, has previously been linked with a £25million move to Chelsea as a potential back-up for Ben Chilwell.
