Kai Havertz has been advised to snub Man Utd

Kai Havertz urged to snub Man Utd transfer and join Chelsea instead

Former Germany midfielder Dietmar Hamann believes the Red Devils have “lost their appeal” and the Bayer Leverkusen star would be better off joining Frank Lampard’s “exciting” side

“United has lost its appeal in recent years,” the former Bayern Munich and Liverpool midfielder told Sky Germany.

“They have been the measure of things for many years, they are still the largest club in England, but they have major internal problems.

“If there was a player on the market in the past, Manchester United was the first point of contact for years. I believe that is no longer the case today.

“When a player like Kai Havertz changes clubs and signs somewhere for five years, the long-term perspective is more important than participating in the Champions League next season.

“For the first time in a long time, you have a team with which the fans can really identify. If a Timo Werner or possibly a Kai Havertz were to be added, it would be an incredibly exciting and interesting story.

“If I think about where I see the clubs now and in two or three years, the decision for Chelsea would be a relatively easy one for me as a player.”
