Liverpool & Manchester City Eyeing Chelsea's Michael Mancienne


Premier League duo Liverpool and Manchester City are keeping tabs on Michael Mancienne's situation at Chelsea, according to a report in The Times.

The versatile defender's contract is set to expire at the end of next season but it is suggested that he may be open to a move away from the west London club this summer.

Although the England Under-21 international is due to begin contract negotiations with the Blues, it is thought that he is becoming increasingly frustrated by the lack of first-team playing time.

Therefore, the 6ft defender might take notice of any offers from Liverpool or Manchester City at the end of this season should they promise to give him regular first-team football.

Having returned to Chelsea from a loan spell at Championship leaders Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he made 10 appearances earlier this season, Mancienne has played four times for the Blues since February 14.
