Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger is understood to be hesitant over a move to Manchester United in the summer after the Red Devils held talks with the centre-back’s representatives. That’s according to the Manchester Evening News, who report that there is “little expectation” the Germany international will be heading to Old Trafford over the summer.
The report claims that the 29-year-old is exploring options with teams guaranteed Champions League football next season. United are currently sixth, three points behind fourth-placed Tottenham, who have played a game less than them.
It all comes as Rudiger’s deal at Stamford Bridge is set to expire at the end of the season, having spent five-years at the club since his move from Roma in 2017. While the defender struggled for a place at times, under current boss Thomas Tuchel he has been an influential figure in a usual back three system.
