Ben Chilwell has opened up on supporting Manchester United as a child, putting context to previous rumours linking him with a move away from the club. The 26-year-old signed a new two-year extension in April, putting an end to speculation over his future.
Having joined in 2020 he has been the club's first-choice left-back throughout, gaining more recognition as a world-class defender and enhancing his role within the nation side. Despite being second choice to Luke Shaw, Chilwell has remained in contention throughout having proven his abilities as a wing-back.
For Chelsea, he has been integral to success on the pitch and runs of bad form have often coincided with his lengthy spells out injured. After a damaging fall on his knee in November 2021 he has missed 58 games. Earlier this season a hamstring knock shortly after returning kept him out again.
