Manchester United legend Dimitar Berbatov wants his former club to sign Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger when the defender's contract ends – but believes their lack of success could deter the serial winner from moving to Old Trafford.
Crisis-hit Chelsea cannot offer Rudiger an extension when his deal expires in the summer because of UK government sanctions placed on club owner Roman Abramovich.
Centre-back Rudiger had already been linked with United, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle before the punishments were imposed.
Rudiger had been rumoured to be considering a contract extension at the club where he has established himself as an exceptional talent since joining for £31million from Roma in 2017.
