Hell yeah, quality defender
Don't know why they aren't giving him what he wants. He clearly is their best defender.
Bit too annoying for my tastes.

No! I dislike the cnut. A fit Bailly is supposed to be like him and more though it’s a shame Bailly can’t stay fit to save his life .
Rudiger and Varane, YES!
He's as cnutish as Luiz was in his prime. Would I take him though? Absolutely!
On a free transfer? Sure, but I imagine Madrid are already in there like swimwear. Also think Thiago Silva is still the best CB at Chelsea, even with Rudiger's rise.
Lets get more Chelsea cast-offs, it's worked splendidly over the last decade.
Can't see it happening. As it is, not interested in a last payday kind of transfer anymore.
Aren't there concerns about whether he works in a 2 man defence? Have to say he's been fantastic as part of Tuchel's system though.
Could I be allowed to dream of a window with Rudiger, two midfielders and Haaland?
Think Mino will do a deal with City just because he absolutely despises us
Wtf? He's mediocre at best.
I haven't watched anywhere near enough to have my opinion about it, but I have seen a couple of Chelsea fans say that he is only particularly good in a three man defence.
For me I am still not sure of him in a double man CB partnership compared to 3 at the back.
In before 3 man tax
So a huge improvement on our lot then...
He's a horrible cnut. Might change my tune if we did sign him though.
No...he's excelled within the 3 CB system at Chelsea, not as one of two CBs and will go above 200K in wages...he's not that deserving of it.
Hope United is being leveraged by agents and clubs to push his wages higher for another team. Chelsea don't value him as much because they know his output can be replicated within reason by a lower priced player, who might also be younger and hungrier for success.

And United should always be talking to agents and understanding what their clients are seeking. Talking to Rudiger's agent, doesn't make discussions exclusive to Rudiger, could also be used to learn more about other player an agent represents or what that agent has heard from other clubs like what their offers are, what they've heard, etc.
Cast offs? They are desperate to keep him
Never happening, move on. Such a leak to put pressure on the club, to get what he wants.
He will come to Madrid. We need a quality backup to Alaba and Militao.
Rüdiger is pretty average in a back two
We dont need better centre backs any more than we need better forwards. We could use a Pogba replacement and a quality right back imo. We've got a lot of good players who need coaching into a working system.
No thanks. I would rather we spent our resources on our gaping holes instead.
Would be an odd signing.
Best form in a back 3, which we don't play. Already at a big club that can pay him and are more capable of winning things than us.
It's one of those signings where you're only ever likely to get him for the wrong reasons and as such we should steer well clear. If anything I think we should be looking at a young centre half, and possibly clear our surplus of them out. But it's not a huge priority.

I liked Herrera mostly because he really annoyed my United-hating friends.
To save yourself the inevitable pain, the answer really should be no.
Seems to me that this is being pushed by Rudigers camp (although on recent form it would be great) as I dont see us switching to a back 3.
My concern is its a free transfer so we could be repeating the Sanchez mistake of overpaying him.
Backup? Isn't he demanding over 200k a week in wages?
Even when Bailly is fit, he's too inconsistent, not even in the same bracket at Rudiger.
In a heartbeat!
Using us for a new contract from Chelsea. Oldest play in the book.
Just noise so he can get a juicy new contract. Fantastic defender though, him and Varane would be the best CB partnership in the league. Plus it would also be the end of Maguire's career here, one can dream.
Not great in a two, only playing well in a 3 as he is allowed to roam about as he has cover.
Yeah I thought this too. He's not bad obviously but I think his flaws come out more in a 2. Might be good though, nice to have pacey cover for Varane in case his injuries get prolonged.
I also think this.
Not for me. He's good but he has flaws in a back 2.
He's also 28 now and I don't think that fits into Rangnick's idea of signing players who are "young and hungry" and with potential for profit (just in case).

The potential for profit thing I dont think is going to be in his thinking at Manchester United. But I agree on the young and hungry aspect, he said himself he prefers players yet to get onto the big contracts. Sounds an agent ploy to me the more I think about it!
29 in March. Probably why Chelsea are reluctant to give him a long contract on big wages, especially as he is a pacy CB who has had a few knee injuries.
Benefits greatly from the system he plays he, solid but unspectacular. He's 28 now, 29 in March, not the age we should be offering big contracts to unless they're exceptional players, which I don't think Rudiger is.
