# Manchester United: Fans not interested in Ben Chilwell rumours

**Manchester United fans have been [reacting](https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/1199743744263766016?s=12) to the news that Leicester City defender Ben Chilwell will not be pursued by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the club are not looking to bring in a left-back at this time.**

The 22-year-old has been on the radar of the Old Trafford scouts in recent years after a [string](https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ben-chilwell-raves-leicester-citys-3502049) of good performances.

Chilwell has been a [critical](https://totalfootballanalysis.com/player-analysis/ben-chilwell-2019-20-scout-report-tactical-analysis-tactics) asset in Brendan Rodgers’ setup and has provided [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ben-chilwell/profil/spieler/316125) assists and scored [one](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ben-chilwell/profil/spieler/316125) goal in 11 Premier League outings this season, with his side lying second in the standings.

However, with the emergence of Carrington youngster Brandon Williams, those searches for a left-back have now been called off and the club will settle with what they have, per [The Times](https://go.skimresources.com/?id=55199X1529169&isjs=1&jv=13.25.1-stackpath&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fmetro.co.uk%2F2019%2F11%2F28%2Fbrandon-williams-changed-ole-gunnar-solskjaers-man-utd-transfer-plans-11232173%2F&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thetimes.co.uk%2Fedition%2Fsport%2Fmanchester-united-halt-search-for-new-left-back-after-emergence-of-brandon-williams-lh067fs3z&xguid=1ec5ecd27522f5b848cb48ddecd8fe83&xs=1&xtz=0&xuuid=d30c7dc0d362b071a47547e1460317fd).

Supporters agreed with the stance of the club and looked towards Williams to become a regular in the first team, making their feelings clear on youngster on social media.
