The Red Devils have been pretty busy so far in this window, adding two exciting young talents in the form of Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro, whilst also bringing in both Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich.
It seems the deals for Yoro and De Ligt will be enough for Man Utd in defence, with Romano telling the United Stand that he can’t see them signing another central defender when asked about the possibility of trying again for Branthwaite…
United have also been linked with Chilwell, but it seems Romano isn’t at all convinced that Chelsea’s terms would be suitable, so it looks hard to see that one happening any time soon.
See below for details…
Chilwell is surely out of the first-team picture at Chelsea now, with Marc Cucurella starting ahead of him in the defeat to Manchester City at the weekend.
It will be interesting to see where Chilwell ends up next, even if it probably won’t be United, as one imagines CFC will be open to letting him go and he should be someone who has plenty of admirers in the Premier League and other top leagues.
United fans will perhaps be a bit disappointed that it looks unlikely to sign these two England internationals, though there’s also not that much of a need for either of them.

Erik ten Hag’s side could probably do with midfielders or attacking players now, with the defence more or less sorted after the arrivals of Yoro, De Ligt and Mazraoui.
