Former Liverpool player Mark Lawrenson predicts that Chelsea’s Thiago Silva might make a surprise move to Manchester United this summer, and it wouldn’t cost them a dime.
Silva recently announced that he would be leaving Chelsea at the end of this season after spending four years at Stamford Bridge.
Even though he’s turning 40 in September, the Brazilian defender has shown that he can still compete at the top level.

“I could see Thiago Silva going to another Premier League team in the summer, but the only thing is that he needs to play in a back three. There are teams who play in a three and he’s shown that he can still play.
“I think there will be lots of Premier League teams who will be looking at him, even if it’s just for one year with an opportunity to extend, if he’s still good enough.
“I could possibly see him going to Old Trafford in the summer, and you’d know that he would be a good signing for him as long as he can stay fit because he’s been a top player but also he looks fit, and can play the ball out from the back comfortably, which is something that Manchester United haven’t had from their central defenders this season,” Lawrenson told Paddy Power.
