Chelsea have been handed a clear example of the type of transfer business they need to conduct in the next few weeks by rivals Manchester United. The Red Devils have been on their way up this season under new boss Erik ten Hag, despite a difficult start to life in the Premier League.
A run of poor early campaign form has since seen the side embark on a great run of form, sitting fourth in the division with a style of play that is working for the players. With the methods working, the backing is just as important to ensure that the Dutch coach has the players that can fulfill his requirements.
Similar may be needed at Chelsea, who are currently in a difficult run of games themselves after a number of injury concerns through the squad. Questions have been asked of Graham Potter since his arrival, but the new ownership are believed to be backing their choice of manager at this stage.
