In an emergency, Chelsea requested that MU pay 7 million pounds to borrow left-back Marc Cucurella from them.

Luke Shaw and Malacia have left a gap at left back, and the Manchester team is in desperate need of a replacement.

Due to their severe injuries, both Red Devils players are unlikely to play football again for the remainder of 2023.

At first, coach Ten Hag wanted to sign Marcos Alonso to a 2-year deal. The Spanish defender declined, though, as he wanted to keep helping Barcelona.

According to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, MU sent a formal bid of £2 million yesterday (August 29) in an effort to borrow Marc Cucurella.

Chelsea, though, requested a loan fee of up to £7 million. In addition, the 25-year-old winger’s whole salary must be covered by the Red Devils.

Cucurella was a huge letdown at Stamford Bridge after a £62 million transfer and is currently Chelsea’s third option on the left side of the field.

Many Red Devils fans hope the club does not spend too much money on players who are considered “waste goods” for the London team.One person tweeted: “7 million pounds is too expensive a fee to borrow a left-back.”Another fan expressed: “Chelsea is planning to cast a spell on our MU after the Mason Mount deal.”In addition to Marc Cucurella, coach Ten Hag also considered a few other names, such as Sergio Reguilon (Tottenham), Rico Henry (Brentford), or Nicolas Tagliafico (Lyon).
