The England international was part of pre-season with the Blues, but manager Enzo Maresca does not consider him for the future.

Chilwell is currently training away from the first-team and reports claim that United have been handed the chance to sign him.

The Red Devils recently suffered a fresh setback. Luke Shaw picked up a calf injury in pre-season and may not return until mid-September.

With Shaw's absence, Diogo Dalot is likely to operate as the makeshift left-back. Noussair Mazraoui and Lisandro Martinez can do the same.

It remains to be seen whether United are tempted to make a move for Chilwell, who could be available on loan with an option to buy.

Aside from Chilwell, Raheem Sterling , Trevoh Chalobah , David Datro Fofana and Romelu Lukaku are expected to be sold by Chelsea .

Napoli are in advanced negotiations with Chelsea for Lukaku and an agreement could be formally reached before the end of the week.
