Manchester United is reportedly interested in acquiring either Marc Cucurella or Ben Chilwell from Chelsea during the summer transfer season, according to writer Simon Phillips.

Cucurella was almost signed by Man United on a loan last summer, but the agreement fell through. In the end, Sergio Reguilon of Tottenham Hotspur was chosen by United. A break clause was activated in January.

In search of a new left-back, United is reportedly knocking on Blues co-owner Behdad Eghbali’s door. They have rekindled their interest in Cucurella, and they are also considering Chilwell. According to Phillips, the team is hoping to add a number of new players this summer. “Last summer, we saw the almost completed loan move of Marc Cucurella to United. This deal collapsed due to Mauricio Pochettino playing him in the cup against Wimbledon,” the source reported.

In any case, it’s being reported that United has rekindled their interest in the Spanish left back in anticipation of a possible summer transfer. They like Cucurella, who is currently receiving interest from other clubs. United are looking for a new left back, and they are also interested in Ben Chilwell. However, that interest for now is a little more tentative due to Chilwell’s injury issues.”
