Manchester United are giving consideration to a risky move for a high profile Chelsea player the Blues are willing to sell.
Man Utd’s summer window is heating up, with the Red Devils primed to oversee several arrivals and exits over the coming weeks.
Regarding ethe outgoings, United have agreed to sell Donny van de Beek to Girona in a highly incentivised deal. Marseille have bid for Mason Greenwood and the French side are the winger’s preferred destination.
Elsewhere, bids and solutions are being sought for Harry Maguire, Casemiro and Jadon Sancho. Casemiro is in discussions over a move to Saudi Arabia, while Juventus are keen to sign Sancho as their replacement for Federico Chiesa who’ll be sold this window.
On the arrivals front, Man Utd are targeting additions at centre-back, in central midfield and at striker.
However, a new left-back is also under consideration, with transfer guru Fabrizio Romano previously declaring Man Utd WILL sign a new left-back this window.
Left-back proved a problem position for Erik ten Hag last term primarily due to injury. Luke Shaw missed the bulk of the season, while Tyrell Malacia didn’t play a single game.
The end result saw Diogo Dalot, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and even Victor Lindelof deputise in the position. The injuries and mass upheaval played a major part in Man Utd struggling so mightily at the back.
The profile of player United are targeting in the Sir Jim Ratcliffe era is early-mid 20s. Long gone are the days of ‘Hollywood’ signings of ageing stars at the tail-end of their careers.
