Manchester duo join Liverpool in Ashley Cole chase?

Manchester City and Manchester United are reportedly set to battle it out with the likes of Liverpool for the services of Chelsea defender Ashley Cole this summer, according to The Mirror.

The England international's contract at the Blues expires at the end of the season and is unlikely to be offered a fresh deal at the West London club.

Liverpool and Real Madrid have shown interest in signing the former Gunner over the past few weeks, but according to The Mirror, City and United have joined the race for the talented left-back.

 

Along with Cole, the futures of Frank Lampard and John Terry at the club are also in doubt beyond the current campaign.
