Manchester United made a bid for young Chelsea defender Josh Achimpong last summer.
The Manchester club has had a rocky start to the new season under the management of Michael Carrick. Despite bringing in players like Youri Tielemans, Andrey Santos, and Carlos Baleba, fans have expressed their discontent over the lack of new faces in the defensive line.
According to talkSPORT, the English giants reached out regarding a potential transfer for Achimpong. However, the Blues declared the 20-year-old England youth international as untouchable and turned down all offers.
Currently, Chelsea are preparing a lucrative new contract for the defender. Head coach Xabi Alonso has high hopes for the player and rates his abilities highly.
He has taken a step forward. He plays more maturely and aggressively, understanding what is needed to compete in the Premier League. He is on the right path, with immense potential. He has played and will play again.
