According to British media HITC, Ben Chilwell is no longer in Chelsea’s plans for the new season. The player wants to move to Manchester United, and the Red Devils are also interested in the player.
Chilwell joined Chelsea in 2020, signing a five-year contract. Following the departure of Mauricio Pochettino, Chilwell is no longer a hot pick for new manager Maurizio Sarri. It is understood that Chilwell has been excluded from the starting lineup, with Marc Cucurella becoming his replacement.
Sources say that Chilwell was informed before the start of the season that he was unlikely to be part of Sarri’s plans for the new season. Chilwell’s agent is currently exploring future options for him, including clubs in Italy and Spain, but his high wages mean he can only join on loan.
However, the agent has sent an offer to Manchester United, who are also very interested in the England international. Erik ten Hag’s first-choice left-back is Luke Shaw, but he has been plagued by injuries and has not played for a long time, making Chilwell a good alternative. Having won the FA Cup last season, Manchester United will be playing in European competitions this season, which is one of the reasons Chilwell is keen to join.
