Ben Chilwell has emerged as a surprise target for Manchester United, with his future at Chelsea in doubt, according to reports. Chilwell signed for £50 million from Leicester in 2020, made only 21 appearances last season due to injury issues.
Rival Chelsea star Marc Cucurella excelled in Spain’s Euro 2024-winning squad, increasing doubts about Chilwell’s fit under new manager Enzo Maresca. Maresca, who replaced Mauricio Pochettino, favors using inverted full-backs who transition into midfield. While Reece James and Malo Gusto have adapted to this role in pre-season, there are questions about Chilwell’s ability to do the same. Maresca commented on Chilwell’s position, stating, “Chilly is a left-back, for sure… but he probably needs a bit of time to find the right position.”
Despite Maresca’s encouragement, Chilwell’s future at Chelsea remains uncertain. According to talkSPORT, Manchester United is interested in the 26-year-old as they seek left-back alternatives due to injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.
