Chelsea: Mason Mount mocks teammate Antonio Rudiger
Manchester United are set to provide Chelsea 'tough competition' for the signature of Antonio Rudiger, according to reports. Rudiger is out of contract at Chelsea at the end of the season and the Blues are keen to keep him. But United interim boss Ralf Rangnick could help lure the German to Old Trafford.

Rangnick did not manage Senesie during his playing career but the relationship grew during the latter's time on the pitch.
The pair nearly crossed over at Hoffenheim, with Rangnick becoming boss just as Senesie's loan spell at the club was coming to an end.
Rangnick will be taking up a consultancy role at United at the end of the season.
But the club will be hoping his rapport with Senesie can help secure a deal for Rudiger.

Rudiger joined Chelsea from Roma in 2017. He fell out of favour under previous boss Frank Lampard but has enjoyed a new lease of life under Tuchel.
Rudiger's Chelsea and Germany team-mate Timo Werner recently stated he would like him and Andreas Christensen to stay at the club beyond their current contracts.
“I’m not involved in the negotiations of these two players,” Werner told Sky Sports.
“I would be happy with both if they stayed here because they are very, very good defenders. We would give them away with a heavy heart if they left.”
