Hi Ed, is Ben Chilwell an option for United, there are some rumors around? Are United still considering left backs such as Gutierrez this summer?

{Ed002's Note - Ben Chilwell (LB) Chelsea have added a younger option which may well allow Chilwell to depart with three other Left Backs who have already gone. May still be wanted by Manchester City. I am not aware of any approach by Manchester United.}

Thank you Ed. Has there been any talk over a loan or anything for Malacia to get his fitness back?

{Ed002's Note - I think he is still out.}

Thanks Ed! Side note, Greenwood to marseille look likely? Hopeful for all parties to put this behind us….

{Ed002's Note - I cannot sensibly answer "likely" questions but a representative of Marseille met with folk from Manchester United in London on Friday about taking Greenwood or Rashford as an Ndaiye replacement.}

Ooh interest in Rashford, that's good news.

Are any other clubs showing interest in him ed002?

{Ed002's Note - No.}

MancMan, Marseille would likely only be able to offer a loan or €20-30m max for Rashford given the general financial situation of the French league.

Ed, was the interest in Rashford for a loan?

{Ed002's Note - Marcus Rashford (LW/F) I am sure Manchester United will be regretting the new long-term contract. A third-party has spoken to clubs, including Marseille, Juventus, Lazio and Arsenal about him on behalf of Manchester United. Lazio have made a low ball offer and Manchester United are confident that Marseille will make a better offer in order to replace Ndiaye, but they would like an initial loan and feel Manchester United have priced him out of a move. Suggestion that he could be a Mbappe replacement at PSG seem far-fetched given they have other clear targets in mind. Interest from the Middle East has been rejected.}

Are we still looking at Cucurella Ed?

{Ed002's Note - Yes but it will go nowhere.}

Why do we have a hard-on for crocked left backs? Shaw and Malacia have been out injured for most of last season, so we look at Chilwell as an alternative. A player who also missed large parts of the last couple of season's out injured.

Thank you for all the answers Ed.
