Chelsea have been busy in the transfer market this summer, and it looks like they are not slowing down anytime soon. According to reports, manager Erik ten Hag has given the green light for a Manchester United player to leave the club, and Chelsea are being urged to take a chance on him.
Since Todd Boehly's takeover, Chelsea have been one of the most active clubs in terms of transfers. They have already brought in players like Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Omari Kellyman, Renato Veiga, and Caleb Wiley, and they are not done yet. New manager Enzo Maresca is preparing for his first season at Stamford Bridge and is looking to strengthen his squad even further.
One of the players Chelsea are keeping an eye on is Manchester United goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen. They are also monitoring Victor Osimhen and Marc Guehi. However, former United legend Dwight Yorke believes that Chelsea should also focus on signing a defender, as Thiago Silva has left the club at the end of last season. Yorke has named Harry Maguire as a possible target, as the United captain will face increased competition with the arrival of teenage centre-back Leny Yoro and the return of Lisandro Martinez from injury.
Yorke believes that Maguire could sit out the last year of his contract at Old Trafford and still play due to injuries. However, he thinks that United should be ruthless and get rid of him to move forward. He also believes that a fresh start at an elite club like Chelsea could give Maguire the push he needs to perform at the highest level again.
The former United striker, who played until he was 36, is not writing off Maguire, who is still in his early 30s. He believes that Maguire still has the attributes to play at the top level and could improve if he joins a team that is winning matches. With Thiago Silva leaving Chelsea, Yorke sees a gap for an experienced player like Maguire to fill.
Maguire has had a mixed spell at United, making over 200 appearances but also facing criticism for his defending and losing the captaincy last year. Reports suggest that he is one of six first-team players that United are looking to offload before the start of the new season. Along with Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Victor Lindelof could also leave, while midfielders Scott McTominay, Casemiro, and Christian Eriksen are also open to offers.
As Chelsea continue their spending spree, it remains to be seen if they will heed Yorke's advice and make a move for Maguire. With the new season approaching, all eyes will be on Stamford Bridge to see how Maresca's revamped squad will perform.
