Marc Cucurella booed by Chelsea fans

A section of Chelsea fans on Wednesday night was overheard jeering the Spain international as he closes in on a sensational summer move to Old Trafford.

Cucurella was in action for the Blues during their Carabao Cup meeting with AFC Wimbledon. Pochettino's men won the clash 2-1.

According to The Sun, the former Brighton ace was making an appearance for the West Londoners for the first time this season.

Cucurella has fallen down the pecking order under Mauricio Pochettino, with Ben Chilwell and Ian Maatsen currently ahead of him.

The 25-year-old has endured a frustrating spell with Chelsea since he joined them from Brighton in a £55 million deal last summer.
