Manchester United have reached out to Chelsea to discuss the potential loan signing of Marc Cucurella for their manager, Erik ten Hag, during the upcoming summer transfer window.
This unexpected move from Man United comes as a result of injuries to their two left-backs, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.
Although Malacia is expected to return next month, there is currently no set timeline for Shaw’s recovery, which poses a significant setback for Ten Hag.
In Saturday’s Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford, Diogo Dalot deputized as a left-back. However, reinforcements, even on a short-term basis, are urgently required for that position.
There have been speculations suggesting that Man United could target former Chelsea defender Ryan Bertrand, who has been a free agent since his departure from Leicester City over the summer.
Nevertheless, according to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United have initiated talks to secure an emergency loan deal for Marc Cucurella during the summer window.
The Red Devils have approached Chelsea to inquire about the terms and conditions surrounding the potential acquisition of the Spanish star. However, it is worth noting that discussions are still in the preliminary stage, with no formal offer or concrete negotiations taking place as of yet.
