Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Chelsea duo Ben Chilwell and Christopher Nkunku in 2025.

The Red Devils have been linked with a number of players since the appointment of Ruben Amorim as Erik ten Hag’s permanent replacement and they are pursuing a double swoop for the Blues pair.

Chilwell has been identified as a key left wing-back target by Amorim, according to CaughtOffside, with the Portuguese tactician set to start his Man Utd reign by implementing a new 3-4-3 system.

The 27-year-old is yet to be included in a Premier League matchday squad under Enzo Maresca this season, while his only appearance so far this campaign came during Chelsea’s 5-0 win over Barrow in the Carabao Cup back in September.

The former England international was linked with an Old Trafford switch this summer and Man Utd remain interested in finalising a deal amid Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw’s injury woes.

In addition to Chilwell, Man Utd are also looking to re-sign Benfica star Alvaro Carreras, while FootballTransfers understands that Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez is under consideration by INEOS.

Christopher Nkunku to Man Utd?

Man Utd have been heavily linked with Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku in recent weeks and he is also being monitored by the Red Devils hierarchy.

The France international hasn’t started a Premier League match since Chelsea’s opening day defeat to Manchester City, with Nicolas Jackson preferred through the middle, and he has been touted to leave Stamford Bridge next year.

Man Utd are among the clubs interested in signing Nkunku, as per multiple reports, with Amorim’s side looking to complete a double Chelsea swoop in 2025.

Despite his lack of involvement in the Premier League, Nkunku is currently Chelsea’s top goalscorer across all competitions so far this season, with 10 goals in 17 games.
