Chelsea star Marc Cucurella and Manchester United have come to a personal understanding.

Since Luke Shaw just had a muscular injury, Cucurella has become a target for United.

It quickly became apparent that Erik ten Hag required more left-back coverage because Tyrell Malacia was also out.

David Ornstein of The Athletic earlier today reported that United had made Chelsea an official loan bid for Cucurella.

Before the transfer market officially closes on Thursday, it is believed that Ten Hag will focus on signing the Spaniard. Luke Thomas, Ryan Bertrand, Marcos Alonso, Sergio Reguilon, and others are also on the Red Devils’ list. United’s pursuit of Cucurella has now received an update from Fabrizio Romano.”Understand, Manchester United and Cucurella have reached an agreement in principle on personal terms,” the Italian journalist writes.”The green light has arrived on the player side.”

As they want to complete the Cucurella trade with Chelsea as soon as possible, Man United won’t negotiate for any other left-back at this time.It is now up to Ten Hag’s team to negotiate a deal with Chelsea for their full-back. Cucurella played 34 games across all competitions and managed 24 Premier League appearances for the Blues last season.

Ben Chilwell, an England international, has been the favored starting so far this season, and Mauricio Pochettino has only seen fit to give the Spaniard a spot on the bench. Pochettino is willing to accept Cucurella’s departure because he also has Ian Maatsen on his team. The excellent Maatsen is admired by the Chelsea manager, and at the moment, he is ahead of the former Brighton player in the hierarchy.
