Manchester United find themselves in a difficult position right now despite making a massive splash in the recent summer transfer window, bringing in superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane. The magnitude of the arrivals have not matched the team’s performances on the pitch. In fact, the Red Devils have appeared to take a step back this time around.
The club had finished second in the Premier League last season. Now though, they could struggle to finish in the top four of the competition, although they have added players like Ronaldo, Sancho and Varane to their ranks while keeping the core of their squad together.
Thus, it is safe to say that Manchester United need to strengthen further in the future. And next summer, they could have an eye on a Chelsea star, who has been tremendous since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel.
As reported by Football Insider, Manchester United are readying a huge offer for Chelsea’s Antonio Rudiger. The German international is firmly on their radar as they look sign another centre-back.
Manchester United are readying huge offer for Rudiger
A year ago, Rudiger was struggling at Chelsea and looked very much on his way out of the club. Since then, things have turned around significantly for him.
Since Tuchel has come in, Rudiger has developed into one of the best defenders in the world and played a significant part in Chelsea’s Champions League win last season.
Rudiger’s current deal with Chelsea will run out next summer though and till now, the Blues have not been able to agree an extension with him.
This gives Manchester United the chance to swoop in. If the club are able to bring him to Old Trafford, it would be considered as a major coup on the part of the Red Devils. Of course, it is not going to be easy, with several other top clubs also believed to be interested.
