Fabrizio Romano has now claimed that Manchester United have been in touch with Chelsea about the possibility of signing Marc Cucurella this summer.
He is yet to make a competitive appearance for Mauricio Pochettino’s side. He was only sporadically used in the successful pre-season campaign too.
Ben Chilwell has been the very obvious first choice in the left-back position so far this season, and after Reece James’ injury he has been donning the captain’s armband too.
The development of Ian Maatsen as a genuine first team option after his return from loan has not made it easy for Cucurella to prove the doubters wrong after a tough first season.
