Reports emerged in recent weeks that the England international was looking for a move away from Stamford Bridge and eyeing a return to the North West.

It was claimed that the Red Devils were interested in the former Manchester City attacker while social media activity suggested that he could move to Old Trafford and join the club he supported growing up.
