Man Utd are wanting to sign Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea. The Blues no longer require the services of the young defender. Also, they have to lay off some players after making so many signings in the market. The Red Devils are looking to make the most of the situation. They are keen to build a strong squad. They would go on to concede as many as 84 goals in all competitions last season. At the same time, they would concede 58 times in the Premier League alone. Defense has simply been very poor for them.
The Red Devils believe Trevoh Chalobah could be the answer for their defensive problems. Apart from conceding goals, most of the defenders were also injured for them. Ten Hag had to use midfielders as center-back in the closing days of the campaign. Their results as a team were also very poor. They finished 8th in the league. They were beaten in the UCL group stages itself. But, they would manage to salvage the season a little. They beat Man City in the FA Cup final. As a result, United will be a part of the UEL this season. Meanwhile, Chelsea will now be playing in the UECL and Newcastle will be out of Europe.
Why do Chelsea want Trevoh Chalobah out
Trevoh Chalobah was even dropped from the Chelsea squad touring USA. He would then be included later on. But, new manager Enzo Maresca is very clear. He wants to sell the 25-year-old than to keep him. The defender was pretty good in the 23/24 season. But, both the owners and the manager believe that it would be better to sell him. As per them, they can cash-in on him now rather than keeping him and decreasing his value.
Trevoh Chalobah is very versatile at the back. He can play at the center and on the right side of the defense. Initially, he wanted to fight for his place in the lineup. But, as of now, he is considering his options. A move away from the Stamford Bridge seems more likely. The defender will have a hard time to enjoy first-team football. Surely, he is quality enough to at least warm the bench for them. But, in a rather disappointing fashion, the 25-year-old was seen captaining their reserve team. As a result, it is more than likely that he may choose to leave.
Man Utd join the race
The Red Devils have already made serious moves in the market. They have signed some young and exciting talents already. They have made a move for Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna. Leny Yoro has also joined from Lille. But, the defender has already picked up a knock. As a result, United may further pursue Trevoh Chalobah deal. The 25-year-old is no stranger to the Premier League. As per sportsmole.co.uk, he can also provide cover on the right as and when Diogo Dalot switches to the left. At the same time, Atletico Madrid have also shown interest in signing him. But, they feel he is too expensive.
As per now, Aaron Wan-Bissaka could be leaving the Old Trafford. United want Noussair Mazaroui as a replacement. At the same time, Man Utd are also wanting to sign another Bayern Munich star. They want Matthijs de Ligt. It seems unlikely that the Red Devils will sign both De Ligt and Trevoh Chalobah. Either ways, injuries still remain a big issue for United. They will have to bring in fit players. Otherwise, we may be seeing a repeat of the previous season once again. Fans will be wanting to see their team win titles again.
