Federico Chiesa is being backed to leave Juventus with speculation surrounding the winger now rife following a decisive squad decision.
Federico Chiesa’s omission from the Juventus squad that took on Brest in Saturday’s friendly has fanned speculation that the winger is set to exit the club amid tentative links with Manchester United.
A winger is not on the list of transfer priorities at United this summer with Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho seen as sufficient cover on the left. Chiesa can play on either flank, albeit has traditionally been played more on the left.READ MORE: Sir Jim Ratcliffe is doing something Glazers failed to with brave Man United transfer plan
However, captain Bruno Fernandes has the attacking midfield role on lockdown while Mason Mount has the ability to deputise there. At 26, Chiesa would be seeking regular minutes, which United would not be able to guarantee under current circumstances. Around £95m has already been spent on striker Joshua Zrikzee and defender Leny Yoro, who is now out for three months with a fractured metatarsal. United insist that transfer plans are not being accelerated as a result but there are fears Ten Hag would be left short if another centre-back is not acquired.
