Manchester United could really do with a centre-back and are keen on a Chelsea outcast. They could also do with a goalkeeper stopgap, but may instead sign an Andre Onana replacement…A back four of Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof against Manchester City suggests Erik ten Hagneeds some defensive reinforcements, and reports claim the Manchester United boss is looking to strengthen his options in January.
The report claims the 24-year-old – who broke into the first team under Thomas Tuchel – wants to stay at Chelsea but is being forced out in January as ‘he is not in the long-term thinking of manager Mauricio Pochettino’. They want £45m for him.. But they face competition from United, who ‘are also monitoring Chalobah’s situation closely and are considering a move to try and keep him in England’.
It was thought Onana’s struggles at United this season had persuaded him to stay with the club in January rather than represent his country at AFCON, but it’s now claimed the 27-year-old has changed his mind. United have Altay Bayindir, signed from Fenerbahce in the summer, and Tom Heaton as backup options, but it’s thought they will look to bring in another new goalkeeper in January.Interest in the 24-year-old would suggest this isn’t so much about an AFCON stopgap but a replacement for Onana, who has failed to live up to expectations thus far.
