Transfer Rumour: Man United interested in Trevoh Chalobah

-

Another day and another Manchester United transfer rumour

Manchester United are considering a move for Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah as they evaluate their centre-back options for next season.

Injuries in this position have been a major issue for Erik ten Hag over the past year, and the departure of Raphael Varane has further weakened the squad’s central defence.

Chelsea are reportedly open to selling Chalobah and Connor Gallagher to comply with profit and sustainability rules by 30 June. They are looking for a transfer fee of around £25m.

United are contemplating a bid, though any action will be part of a broader overhaul of their recruitment strategy this summer. The new Ineos-led football management sees player trading as a crucial area for improvement at Old Trafford, following a series of poor decisions that have resulted in an overpaid and bloated squad.

United aspire to adopt the strategies of successful clubs by primarily signing players under the age of 25, who have greater potential for development and are better suited to modern pressing demands. Chalobah would generally fit this profile, although he turns 25 in July.

Chalobah has played 80 times for Chelsea, scoring 5 times. He has also spent time on loan at Ipswich Town, Huddersfield Town and Lorient. 

What are the fans saying?

Liam, a Manchester United fan Season Ticket holder, told us: "This would be a decent addition to the squad. I'd argue that we need at least another centre-back, even if we sign Chalobah."

Olivia Taylor, a Manchester United from Chorlton, said: "Injuries in our defence have been a significant problem for Erik ten Hag over the past year. The departure of Raphael Varane and the frequent injuries to Martinez have left our central defence weakened throughout the season. I believe we need to sign a few players in this position."

It looks like Chelsea fans want him to stay

Borussia Dortmund 0- 2 Real Madrid Real Madrid overcame a formidable challenge from underdogs Borussia Dortmund to secure the Champions League title at Wembley. Carlo Ancelotti made history once again with his fifth win as a manager in the competition, while Real Madrid claimed their 15th title in typical fashion. They weathered a stormy first half and several missed opportunities from Dortmund before emerging victorious. A brief summary of the match Dortmund's Karim Adeyemi missed two chances in the first half, and striker Niclas Fullkrug struck the post. Real Madrid's recalled goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, was also a formidable barrier. As expected, Real Madrid upped the ante, with Dani Carvajal nodding in a header from a corner 16 minutes from time, followed by Vinicius Jr racing clear to add a second goal. This victory crowned a glorious first season at Real Madrid for Jude Bellingham, but it was a night of disappointment for Jadon Sancho, on loan to Dortmund from Manch

 Germany 5 - 1 Scotland There were six goals in the first game of Euro 2024. Unfortunately for Scotland, they only managed one. Pictures from the Euro 2024 Opening Ceremony The atmosphere at Allianz Arena was electric right from the start. Just ten minutes in, Florian Wirtz effortlessly found the net to open the scoring. Shortly after, Jamal Musiala unleashed a powerful shot that almost broke both Angus Gunn’s net and the hearts of the stunned Scottish fans behind the goal. Before half-time, Kai Havertz made it three from the penalty spot, following Ryan Porteous’ red card which left Scotland facing an uphill battle. Substitute Niclas Fullkrug added a fourth for Germany with a high shot into the net, though Antonio Rudiger’s late deflected own goal offered a glimmer of hope for Scotland. Their joy was short-lived, however, as Emre Can silenced the Scottish supporters deep into injury time. This result marked the biggest win in the opening game of a European Championships.  Euro 202

Italy 2 - 1 Albania Holders Italy overcome a huge scare from group outsiders Albania. Italy recovered from the shock of conceding the fastest goal ever scored at a European Championship to beat Albania 2-1 with Alessandro Bastoni and Nicolò Barella ensuring the defending champions made a winning start. Such a narrow margin of defeat may prove useful to Albania’s hopes of scraping third place in the group of death. They will almost certainly need to win their next game though. Not an easy task. Nedim Bajrami’s emphatic finish set a new record for the fastest goal in European Championship history, lifting the roof off a stadium that had never experienced anything like the Albanian influx, which kept the atmosphere electric throughout. Within 23 seconds, Bajrami ensured that this already intense occasion would go down in history. It was inevitable Albania would start aggressively, spurred on by a noisy support that filled at least three-quarters of the venue. Italy wasn't ready.
