Report: Chelsea's Ben Chilwell offered to Manchester United

The England international has found himself out of favour at Stamford Bridge, with Maresca preferring Marc Cucurella in the left-back position.

Chilwell's exclusion from Chelsea's Premier League opener against Manchester City and the Europa Conference League squad for the match against Servette has further highlighted his uncertain future at the club.

Reports last week indicated that Chilwell was already assessing his options, a situation that has only intensified with Maresca's recent decision.

Manchester United, currently struggling with injuries to key left-backs Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, are in dire need of reinforcements in that position.

Erik ten Hag was forced to deploy right-back Diogo Dalot on the left side in their 1-0 victory over Fulham, a makeshift solution that may not be sustainable in the long term.

Chelsea, actively working to offload surplus players, are unlikely to block Chilwell's departure if a suitable offer arrives before the transfer window closes on August 30.

As the deadline approaches, the Red Devils must decide whether to bolster their squad with Chilwell, who could provide much-needed depth and quality at left-back.

The next few days could see a significant shift in Chilwell's career, with United closely monitoring the situation as they consider their options.
