Legendary France midfielder Emmanuel Petit believes Chelsea flop Mykhailo Mudryk would be perfectly suited to Ruben Amorim’s plans at Manchester United.
The 23-year-old rose to stardom during his time at Shakhtar Donestk, and the war in Ukraine accelerated his departure.
In January 2023, the winger signed for the Blues for a whopping £89 million, and has been struggling to justify this immense fee.
The recurring managerial changes at Stamford Bridge hardly helped the Ukrainian’s adjustment to life in England, and this season, he’s been starving for playing time under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, especially amidst the fierce competition for starting places on the wings, with the likes of Neto, Jadon Sancho and Joao Felix all vying for the same spot.
So with almost two years removed from his arrival at Chelsea, Petit believes it is past time for Mudryk to leave the club and try to resurrect his reputation elsewhere.

Moreover, the 1998 World Cup winner explains why the Ukraine international would be an ideal signing for Man United who have recently started a new chapter with Amorim’s appointment.
“Sooner or later, Mudryk needs to make a decision. He arrived at the club two years ago and what has he done?” wondered the Frenchman (via The Mirror).
“He has not improved and he’s missing a valuable period of his career and his confidence is down. He’s 23 and he’s wasting too much time already and with the new sports direction at Chelsea, I don’t think he has a future there.
“However. I think Man United could be an excellent opportunity for him as he suits in Ruben Amorim’s formation. His 3-4-3 could see him play him inside right behind the striker at Old Trafford.”
