Manchester United Contact Chelsea Over Potential Loan for Marc Cucurella

Manchester United have contacted Chelsea over the possibility of signing left-back Marc Cucurella on loan, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Red Devils are looking for a new left-back after Luke Shaw was ruled out for several weeks with a hamstring injury. Cucurella is one of three candidates on United's list, along with Tottenham Hotspur's Sergio Reguilon and Hoffenheim's David Raum.

Cucurella, 23, joined Chelsea from Brighton last summer for £62 million, but he has struggled to break into the first team. He has made just three appearances in the Premier League this season.

United are not willing to pay a large fee for a new left-back, so a loan deal for Cucurella would be their preferred option. Chelsea are open to the idea of loaning him out, but they would want to include an option to buy in the deal.

United are expected to make a decision on Cucurella's future in the next few days.
