Marc Cucurella has yet to make an appearance for Chelsea this season, and it appears Manchester United are looking to take advantage of his lack of playing time. Reports suggest the Red Devils have made contact with the Blues over the possibility of signing the 25-year-old Spanish international on loan.
United have been dealt a huge blow with the injury of two left-backs, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia. With no return date for Shaw in sight, the Red Devils need reinforcements in that position. Diogo Dalot has filled in at left-back, but the club is looking for a more permanent solution.
Rumours had been circulating that United had their eyes set on former Chelsea defender Ryan Bertrand, but it appears they have now switched their focus to Cucurella. Fabrizio Romano has reported that the Red Devils have opened talks to bring Cucurella in as an emergency loan, but the move is in its early stages and no bids or concrete talks have been made.
The Red Devils are looking for an inexpensive solution, and Cucurella appears to be the right fit. The player signed for Chelsea last summer for £62 million, but has been unable to make an impact and has been pushed further down the pecking order following the arrival of Ben Chilwell.
It remains to be seen whether Chelsea would be willing to let Cucurella join a major rival, as they would probably prefer to offload the player permanently rather than temporarily. However, Cucurella is determined to fight for his place at the Blues.
