According to Mirror Football, Chelsea and Manchester United could make a move to bring Abraham back this summer. 

The Blues have a £70m buy-back clause for the 25-year-old and Mauricio Pochettino will make a decision in the coming weeks.

More on the situation

Manchester United on the other hand are in desperate need of a striker with Erik ten Hag's men solely dependent on Marcus Rashford for goals this season.

Abraham could be an excellent addition to the Red Devils, complimenting well with Rashford and perhaps forcing his way back into the England set-up.
