Manchester United supporters are pleading with the club to sign Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger following news that Blues owner Roman Abramovich has been placed under strict UK sanctions.
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine a fortnight ago, the UK has slowly been cracking down on wealthy Russians with assets within the UK. Abramovich has now been handed a whole host of sanctions, meaning he is currently blocked from selling Chelsea, having put the club up for sale last week.
The sanctions imposed on Abramovich are going to have a catastrophic knock-on effect for the club, especially its supporters, with Chelsea now banned from selling tickets. As well as that, which means only season ticket holders can attend fixtures, Chelsea are also banned from selling merchandise, offering new contracts to players and staff, signing new players and selling them for financial gains.
