Marc Cucurella, a defender for Chelsea, has been the subject of inquiries from Manchester United.

On Saturday night, Fabrizio Romano disclosed that Manchester United had gotten in touch with Chelsea about a Marc Cucurella transfer. A possibly important update has occurred.

Luke Shaw’s injury at Manchester United is the context to this. Tyrell Malacia also has a wound.

United is now searching for a last-minute left-back option to provide protection as a result.

Marc Cucurella to Manchester United latest

At Chelsea, Marc Cucurella is unpopular. In their first three games, he has not appeared for even a single second.

Just one year ago, Chelsea paid Brighton £62 million to get him. He is now only a costly spare part due to management changes.

Chelsea are willing to work out a deal with United, according to Fabrizio Romano’s story from yesterday night.

The statement reads: “Understand Chelsea are open to letting Cucurella leave on loan but only at their conditions (loan fee/salary coverage).”

Chelsea would benefit from having him off their payroll, and United could undoubtedly come up with the money for the versatile defender’s loan fee.

Manchester United have witnessed the two versions of Marc Cucurella

Over the past 18 months, Manchester United has seen Marc Cucurella in two very different capacities.

Cucurella was replaced in the 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge in October after just 36 minutes due to a tactical change made by Graham Potter after Manchester United dominated the early possession. Despite the fact that Cucurella had been playing at wing-back, AS claims that he had been unwell.

Cucurella’s better side was on display for Brighton months earlier when he played a crucial part in the Seagulls’ 4-0 demolition of Ralf Rangnick’s team and even scored with a marauding performance.

Until Shaw or Malacia return, Erik ten Hag might be able to coax the greatest performance from him.
