There has been speculation at home and abroad regarding the future of former Nigeria international Victor Moses ahead of the opening of the transfer window.

The Blues number fifteen has made only one start this season and was a surprise omission from the squad against Derby County in the League Cup on Wednesday despite training with the team the previous day.

According to reputable German newspaper, Sport Bild, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is on the hunt for a new striker as Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford have not totally convinced this season with only five goals between them in 24 competitive games.

The three attack-minded players being considered by the old Trafford outfit are Victor Moses, Eintracht Frankfurt's Croatia star Ante Rebic and AS Roma's Cengiz ünder.

Since joining Chelsea in August 2012, Moses has not really found a home there as he was farmed out on loan to Liverpool, Stoke City and West Ham before the arrival of former manager Antonio Conte.

The 27-year-old winger has a contract with Chelsea until June 30, 2021.
