Man United make Ben Chilwell transfer decision – sources
Man United have rejected the chance to sign Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell, sources have told Football Insider.
Chelsea offered the 27-year-old left-back to their Premier League rivals as they seek to offload multiple players before the end of the transfer window.
United have knocked the Londoners back as they believe they have enough cover on the left side of their defence with Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, and youngster Harry Amass.
The two clubs could still be in business with each other before the end of the transfer window as they both seek to shift some deadwood.
Man United reject chance to sign Chelsea star Ben Chilwell
Injury problems have plagued Chilwell’s Chelsea career, missing 445 days due to various problems since joining the West London club back in 2020.
Last season he was named vice-captain by his ex-manager Mauricio Pochettino but has since been deemed surplus to requirements by his successor Enzo Maresca.
Chilwell is now training away from Chelsea’s first team as the club seeks to recoup at least some of the £50 million they spent to sign him.
