Marc Cucurella BOOED by Chelsea fans as he starts against Wimbledon amid Man Utd transfer pursuit

The Spaniard was listed in the starting line-up for the first time this season as Mauricio Pochettino and his side prepared to face the Dons.

However, when his name was read out at Stamford Bridge a wave of boos rang out over the crowd.

Chelsea fans on social media were also far from impressed that he was starting, with one person tweeting: “I’d send Cucurella to United for free.”

Another added: “Why is he even playing? Man Utd are about to get him!”

While a third said: “I hope United won’t be discouraged with Cucurella’s performance. I need him to leave Chelsea this summer.”

Cucurella is understood to be on the verge of a last-minute loan transfer to Man Utd.

The 25-year-old has already agreed personal terms in principle with the Red Devils ahead of the proposed move.

United are now looking to reach a compromise with Chelsea on a fee.

Erik ten Hag’s side have tabled an offer worth £2million, but The Athletic claim that Chelsea want £7m.

SunSport have already revealed that Cucurella is open to the move as he has grown frustrated at Chelsea.

The Spaniard’s future at Stamford Bridge is currently uncertain as he has failed to win over fans following his £62m transfer from Brighton last summer.
