Man United ‘not interested’ in signing Chelsea full-back Ben Chilwell

Manchester United are making waves in the final days of the transfer window.

Jadon Sancho is among the high-profile players United want to offload.

He has been linked with a move to Chelsea, with Raheem Sterling or Ben Chilwell potentially heading the other way in a blockbuster swap deal.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano has now revealed that United have no interest in signing Chilwell.

The England international is currently earning £200,000 per week at Chelsea.

Potetnial Chilwell move makes no sense

United must avoid an approach for the 27-year-old.

Erik ten Hag has two left-back options at his disposal – Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.

Shaw’s pre-season injury has ruled out for the start of the season, while Malacia has been on the sidelines for over a year.

Noussair Mazraoui has recently joined United and can play as a left-back if required.

Diogo Dalot is another alternative. The Portugal international has started the first two games of the season in the same role.

Signing another left-back would add more depth to the United squad, but Chilwell is not the answer.

His injury record makes him more of a liability than an asset. In his four-year stay at the Stamford Bridge, Chilwell has featured only 106 times across all competitions.

He is undoubtedly a player with fine attacking skills and a strong defensive game. However, United would not want another player who has had a hard luck with injuries.

INEOS have made a strong impression in Manchester with their proactive approach to this transfer window.

However, signing Chilwell might not sit well with the fans. This is one transfer they should definitely bypass.
