Manchester United make Chelsea full-back Ben Chilwell 'main target'
manchester united He has had persistent problems at left back for most of 2024 and it will be an area that Ruben Amorim will rebuild sooner rather than later. Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are not only out of form, but have also shown an inability to be strong offensively, a trait the manager would value in his full-backs.
With this in mind, Ben Chilwell has become the Red Devils' “top target.” according to Caught Offside (h/t 90min) Amorim sees the left-back position as a “priority area” for renewal. TO transfer It is likely to come in January as Chilwell has fallen out of favor with Enzo Maresca, who has preferred Marc Cucurella as his first choice.
Chilwell is valued at nearly £18 million on Transfermarkt and it will be a profitable solution for Manchester United. Having spent a huge sum in the summer, the club might be hesitant to go bust in the winter too, although it is a pretty clear problem at left-back that United need to find a solution for.
Chilwell would be perfect for Amorim
Ben Chilwell is freezing Chelsea Several fans have considered it unfair, but it seems unlikely that Maresca's decision will change. Man United can capitalize on signing a fantastic player who is only 27 years old and has a good part of his career ahead of him. That said, he would also be a great signing for Ruben Amorim's tactical setup in particular.
Chilwell already played as a full-back in Chelsea's triumphant team champions league 2020/21 campaign with Thomas Tuchel. He has demonstrated his offensive game in recent years, also being able to play as a conventional full-back, in addition to being an inverted option that allows midfielders to reach higher up the field.
Luke Shaw could be available at Amorim's disposal sooner rather than later, but the Englishman visibly struggles to cover the entirety of the left flank, so the new Man United boss may not need much time to rule the former Southampton star out of their plans. Meanwhile, a raid on Chilwell is a very realistic proposal and a deal could be reached in January.
