Manchester United may want to take note of the latest transfer news involving Chelsea defender Gary Cahill as we edge closer to January.
Calciomercato have recently linked Cahill with both AC Milan and United, with Chelsea perhaps likely to favour selling the former England international abroad if possible.

Still, United urgently need to strengthen their defence and doing so with any bigger names may be a bit ambitious in the middle of the season as clubs will not want to sell star names with so little time to replace them.
Cahill, however, is not currently a regular at Chelsea so makes sense as a player who could be available for United, whose manager Jose Mourinho also knows him well having worked with him at Stamford Bridge.
The Telegraph‘s latest update is that the 32-year-old will be available on loan this winter, so United should absolutely try to pounce for this low-risk deal.
