Chelsea defender Benjamin Chilwell has been recommended to Premier League giants Manchester United, according to a new report from leading English outlet talkSPORT. The news stems from the tactical layout of new Chelsea boss Enrique Maresca, and Chilwell has reportedly been told that it is not in his long-term plans, leaving his future at Chelsea in limbo.
Chilwell's recent situation at Chelsea is really not optimistic. Not only was he left out of the squad for the team's first round of the new Premier League season against Manchester City, but it can be deduced from Maresca's comments that the England international doesn't fit the new manager's tactical requirements. This has undoubtedly cast a shadow over Chilwell's Blues career.
Meanwhile, the Manchester United side is facing a dilemma at the left back position. Both star players Luke Shaw and Malacia are currently recovering from injuries and are unable to contribute to the team. This makes United in dire need of fresh blood in this position to maintain the team's fighting power and competitiveness.
Chilwell, an experienced defender, has made 106 appearances for the Blues since joining Chelsea on a move from Leicester City in 2020, showing a lot of strength and potential. His arrival will undoubtedly provide strong support to United's left-back position and help the team get through the current difficulties.
However, whether or not this deal will come to fruition will depend on a number of factors. In addition to the outcome of the negotiations between Manchester United and Chelsea, Chilwell's personal wishes will also have a significant impact on the deal. After all, as a professional player, he needs to make a wise choice at a crucial moment in his career.
