It was just my natural reaction to straighten my leg and if he was going to fall on me to just hold him up really. Of course, Batshuayi might not even be at Chelsea should Maguire sign for the club. He then appeared to extend his leg towards the Chelsea man, making contact, with a number calling for the defender to be sent off. With the scores locked at 0-0, Maguire and Batshuayi both challenged for the ball in the first-half of the game, the former losing his balance towards the dugouts. He said: “I can see why. “Obviously, I’ve got studs on my boots and it probably looks worse on TV. I felt like at the time, I knew I caught him but I felt like he was going to fall on me and my natural reaction was to straighten my leg to try and, if he was to fall on me, hold him up.

What Man Utd plan to do with Harry Maguire amid surprise talk of a move to Chelsea that could bring Christian Pulisic the other way has emerged.

The thought of Maguire joining Chelsea always appeared fanciful. Fofana was left out of his side’s 2-1 defeat to Southampton on Saturday amid concerns his head is not in the right place. Firstly, they report United have not received any formal offers for Maguire. Three years on, that record could be broken once again and could involve the Foxes a second time. The 29-year-old remains the world’s most expensive defender. [Chelsea ](https://www.teamtalk.com/chelsea)are pushing to sign Wesley Fofana who Leicester value around the £85m mark.

MANCHESTER UNITED ace Harry Maguire has been linked with a move to Chelsea.

And the 29-year-old’s endorsement could help Chalobah find new employment in Italy. And the Italian giants have since expressed an interest in taking the 23-year-old to the San Siro. But the striker suffered a dismal campaign in the Premier League and was shipped back off to Inter on loan this summer. If Chelsea do sign Maguire, Tuchel could decide that Chalobah is surplus to requirements in west London and may well sanction a move for the ace. And manager Thomas Tuchel is clearly on the lookout for new defenders. And if the Blues can get their hands on the defender, the move could pave the way for Trevoh Chalobah to join [Inter Milan](/latest/inter-milan-fc), which would see Romelu Lukaku’s transfer wish come true.
