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

It's time to for another sliding doors moment in football  We travel back to 2004. Manchester United face Porto in the last-16 of the Champions League.  Author - Liam C What actually happened? A ontroversial offside call against Paul Scholes became a pivotal moment in European football history. The disallowed goal cost United a place in the quarter-finals, while Porto, managed by the up and coming manager José Mourinho, went on to win the competition and launch Mourinho into the managerial elite. But what if Scholes hadn’t been ruled offside? How might this alternative scenario have changed the landscape of world and European football? Scholes wasn’t offside: United progress Had the linesman not flagged Scholes for offside, Manchester United would have progressed to the next round of the Champions League. Scholes' goal was legitimate, and had it stood, United would have won the tie on aggregate, knocking out Porto and ending their European dreams. With the Red Devils moving

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Kilmarnock 1 - 0 Rangers Rangers remain six points behind the Premiership leaders after suffering a late defeat against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. Author - Mark Lee In a lacklustre match, Rangers wasted several opportunities to secure three points. A combination of poor finishing and solid defending from Kilmarnock made it another frustrating afternoon for the Belgian manager. As the game was heading for a draw, David Watson's lob found Marley Watkins, who beat the offside trap and bundled the ball past Jack Butland. The Gers need to regroup quickly ahead of their Europa League match against FCSB on Thursday. Meanwhile, Derek McInnes' team has now moved to seventh place and are just outside the top six on goal difference. A closer look at how Kilmarnock stunned this Rangers side Home form has traditionally been a strength for Kilmarnock , but they had recorded five draws and one defeat in all competitions on their own pitch leading up to this game. ⚽️ Goal of the day: Mar
