Man United make sensational Chelsea star a ‘top target’ for January transfer window as Possible Luke shaw alternative -Report

Man United have eyes on Ben Chilwell, ahead of the January transfer opening in just a few months.

Over the summer, Manchester United Football Club filled a number of roster gaps, with Erik ten Hag receiving strong support from INEOS.

But there is still a serious problem with the squad: left-back. Luke Shaw is prone to minor injuries.

It has just always been a part of his Red Devils career. Tyrell Malacia’s appearance following an eighteen-month sabbatical is a mystery.

Consequently, the team needs to find a different kind of left-back as quickly as possible. Ben Chilwell is one candidate TEAMtalk believes the team is currently considering.

Their sources state that United has designated the 27-year-old Chelsea defender as a “top target” for the upcoming January transfer deadline.

Chilwell has been frozen out at Stamford Bridge by Enzo Maresca, with United seemingly looking to take advantage of that. The Old Trafford club were linked with the Englishman over the summer, though no move came to fruition.

TEAMtalk state that even if Erik ten Hag loses his job, United will still push to sign Chilwell, hinting that this is a move that is coming directly from INEOS rather than the manager.

United are not alone in their keenness in Chilwell, though the 20-time Premier League champions are said to be showing ‘concrete interest’ in adding the former Leicester City man.

I like Chilwell as a player. He’s been a sturdy defender for Chelsea over the years, though there’s no getting away from the fact that he too has his own injury problems.

I don’t see any logic in bringing in another player who could spend months on end in the treatment room and it’s largely why Chelsea could be looking to get rid
