Man United interested in surprise Chelsea star who ‘doesn’t fit’ Blues’ system -Report

Man United is interested in a surprise Chelsea star who “does not fit” the Blues’ system, according to a report.
Ben Chilwell, the left-back for Chelsea, may be acquired by Manchester United in an unexpected manner.

The Red Devils are reportedly contemplating the English defender as one of their summer targets, as reported by journalist Alex Crook.

Chilwell, 27, was excluded from Gareth Southgate’s final 26-man squad for the EUROs in Germany this summer. However, he could offer Luke Shaw, the team’s preferred left-back, the competition he requires.

Additionally, there are concerns that Chilwell’s style of play will not be compatible with the “Pep Guardiola-esque system” of the former Leicester City manager, which was implemented following the dismissal of Mauricio Pochettino at the conclusion of the season, which led to the recent appointment of Enzo Maresca.

“We are aware that he is a disciple of Pep Guardiola, and his preferences regarding his fullbacks are somewhat similar to Guardiola’s.” He aspires to transition into the midfield and fulfil the hybrid role. That is not truly Chilwell.

“He is an unquestionable left-back.” Maresca has stated that. I believe there is a probability that Manchester United may be interested in him this summer, as he is on their list of potential targets.

Manchester United is anticipated to continue its summer business, despite the fact that they have already offloaded 10 first-team players. The Red Devils are in discussions with West Ham to sell Aaron Wan-Bissaka and are anticipating an initial proposal from Fulham for Scott McTominay.

In the event that either or both players complete their departures, Erik Ten Hag will allocate funds to fortify his team. One fullback who has been extensively linked with Chilwell is Noussair Mazraoui of Bayern Munich, and another is now being rumoured to be on the move to Old Trafford.
