Manchester United Are Keen To Sign This Chelsea Player: What Will He Bring To Old Trafford? | OneFootball

Manchester United are keen on signing Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah in the summer transfer window, according to Fichajes. The club want to bolster their defensive line ahead of next season to compete better across all the competitions.

The Red Devils want to invest in the youngster due to his huge potential and see him as an ideal fit at Old Trafford. However, the English club might face tough competition from German side Bayern Munich for the signature of the English defender.

Trevoh Chalobah’s journey so far

Trevoh Chalobah came through the ranks of Chelsea academy and went on to make his first senior team appearance in 2021.

Chalobah’s impressive performances at the initial stages of his career made everyone believe that he could be a huge next generation superstar. However, things haven’t gone smoothly for him since then.

The 24-year-old got enough first-team minutes last season but he has managed to appear in only four games this season due to an injury. Many consider that his career for the Blues is over and he might be offloaded this summer.

Chalobah is a formidable defender with good holding onto the ball skills. He is capable of building the play from the back and can provide accurate passes. Despite the injury concerns, Chalobah has interest from multiple European clubs.

Will Manchester United go for Trevoh Chalobah?

Manchester United’s interest in Trevoh Chalobah sounds genuine as their backline has been struggling to maintain good form. With multiple injuries in the defensive unit, the club have suffered this season and are struggling to even finish in the Europa League positions in the league table.

Chalobah’s inclusion to the squad will add the much-needed depth. His passing ability will help Erik ten Hag‘s side to build from the back. The defender already has experience of facing the Premier League sides, which is another plus point.

Being just 24 years old, the defender can serve the club for a long time. His contract runs until 2028 but Chelsea will be ready to cash in on the player if any good offer arrives.

Also, how long can a club of Man United’s stature rely on Jonny Evans to bail them out? Even though Evans has been really decent so far this season.
