Man Utd considering move for former Chelsea defender

Manchester United are bracing up for the January transfer window where they could sign new players for their manager Ruben Amorim.

The Red Devils who have maintained a poor form despite Erik ten Hag’s sack could bolster their defence come January.

This comes as recent report disclosed that Manchester United have shown ‘serious interest’ in signing ex-Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen for Amorim.

Christensen, who is signed to Spanish sidr Barcelona, has made only 75 appearances for the Catalans since joining them on a free transfer in 2022.

The 28-year-old defender made 30 appearances during his first season at Barca to help the club win the LaLiga title.

However, he has struggled for game time this season under manager Hansi Flick’s side due to fitness problems.

Meanwhile, Christensen returned to training over the weekend as he looks to get his career back on track.

But a report via Mundo Deportivo disclosed that Man United and other Serie A clubs are showing interest in a January deal for Christensen.

The club’s are also said to not be concerned by the player’s recent injury lay-off.

Christensen’s addition would be a boost for Man Utd’s poor defence should the transfer happen.
