Chelsea defender David Luiz plots transfer to Manchester United after bust-up with Antonio Conte

David Luiz is so furious with Antonio Conte’s treatment of him that he is reportedly considering joining Manchester United.

The Chelsea defender has had a spectacular fall-out with Conte and was condemned to the stands for the victory over United earlier this month.

Conte has refused to say if Luiz will be restored to the squad that will travel to Leicester City on Saturday and the Brazilian is now plotting a sensational move to United.

The Daily Star claim Luiz is raging with the lack of support he has received from the club hierachy after Conte banished him from the first-team.

And Jose Mourinho is now ready to swoop in and lure the centre-back to Old Trafford.

Luiz worked with Mourinho in his first spell at Chelsea and believes his relationship with Conte could be broken beyond repair.

Conte demonstrated with Diego Costa that once a player disrespects him, there is virtually no way back.

Chelsea do not want Luiz to join a direct Premier League rival and would prefer the star Blue move abroad, should he leave the club at all.

But, the Blues were happy to sell Nemanja Matic to United in the summer and may be tempted to ship another one of their star players to Old Trafford should the Red Devils promise to match the fee they initially paid for Luiz.

Paris Saint-Germain sold Luiz back to Chelsea for £34m a year ago and it seems like the Brazil international will soon be on the move again.

Luiz is under contract until 2019, but is confident that should he decide to leave Chelsea will not stand in his way.
