“Drop him lose the game” “Start him & win the game” – Chelsea fans calls out Enzo Maresca to start £62M important Chelsea star ahead of Manchester United match
This weekend, Chelsea will visit Old Trafford to play rival Manchester United in an attempt to earn three points.
On Sunday, the Blues return to Premier League action when they travel to Manchester United.
After nine games, Enzo Maresca’s team is in fifth place in the league table, reflecting on a strong first quarter of the season. Chelsea is definitely in the top four picture this season, according to Liverpool manager Arne Slot.
Before Ruben Amorim officially takes over as manager, Man United has confirmed that Ruud van Nistelrooy will remain the team’s interim manager for the next three games.
Marc Cucurella must start against Manchester United, according to Chelsea supporters.
On social media, some Chelsea fans are adamant that 26-year-old Marc Cucurella be named in the starting lineup for this weekend’s league trip to Manchester United.
After missing the start of Chelsea’s last two league games, Cucurella ought to return to the team against Old Trafford. The left-back was benched for last weekend’s victory over Newcastle United and received a suspension against Liverpool.
The Spain international played 90 minutes in the Blues’ Carabao Cup loss to Newcastle in the middle of the week, but everyone will be watching the team announcement to see if he returns to the league starting lineup.
These Blues supporters on X are adamant that Cucurella be included in the starting lineup for the match against Manchester United:

Marc Cucurella is crucial to Chelsea
Despite not starting in back-to-back league games, Cucurella is definitely still a key player in the Chelsea squad. It’s quite clear what the Blues fanbase thinks about him, too.
Maresca described Cucurella as “very important” last month, so it’s logical to think it’s only a matter of time before he breaks back into the best XI.
Reece James and Malo Gusto, who are both traditionally right-backs, started in the full-back areas last weekend against Newcastle. Surely, there’s a much better balance to the side if Cucurella is restored on the left of defence.
Cucurella deserves huge credit for turning his Chelsea career around, which in the early stages looked a mess as he struggled for form. Now, he’s so dependable whenever he plays and is the best left-back at the club.
