Manchester United or Chelsea? Didi Hamman tells Kai Havertz he has a simple transfer choice to make

Former Liverpool star Didi Hamann believes Kai Havertz has a simple choice to make if he wants to move to the Premier League. The 20-year-old has enjoyed another impressive season in the Bundesliga and. Manchester United and Chelsea are said to be the two English clubs to have registered a concrete interest in the versatile forward. Chelsea are closing in on a deal to sign Havertz’s international teammate Timo Werner and has already added Ajax’s Hakim Ziyech to an exciting looking forward line. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, meanwhile, has presided over a significant improvement in United’s recent performances and his side had embarked on an 11 game unbeaten run before the season being suspended. Hamann believes Chelsea represents the obvious choice for Havertz this summer. "Chelsea and Manchester United are fighting for fourth place," he told Sky Germany. "If United misses the Champions League again, the Red Devils are at risk of falling behind the other clubs. United has lost its appeal in recent years. 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. The player may have to make the decision in the next few weeks and cannot wait until the season in England, which runs until the end of Julyor beginning of August, is over. Perspective is important for a player, but Manchester has been in a vacuum for years. "On the other hand, if I look at Chelsea, they have a coach with Frank Lampard who did a great job for the club as a player – and I have the feeling that the blues are growing again. "They had the two-year transfer embargo and, with Mount and Abraham, brought back two young players who were on loan. Christensen is an incredibly interesting player. 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." Source: Metro
