Carney Chukwuemeka to Man Utd?
In addition to rumours of Raheem Sterling potentially joining Man Utd in a separate deal, the Red Devils have now expressed their interest in Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka.
That is according to Sky Sports’ Dharmesh Sheth, who has revealed that Man Utd are eyeing a potential late swoop for the England youth international.
Chukwuemeka has been frozen out by Maresca, and he has been linked with both Barcelona and Crystal Palace over the past few weeks as Chelsea look to offload him.
The former Aston Villa academy star has four years left on his current deal with the Blues, but an exit before the end of Deadline Day remains a possibility.
