Sounds like both he and Tuanzebe are going as third choice/first rotation rather than being a sure starter. It's not the worst thing in the world, hopefully both do enough in their opportunities given to get more game time.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Does this mean Trippier is back on? Or Dalot is staying, as it would leave us light on full back cover.
They should try and beat Norwich to the Williams loan.

Don't think either is good enough to hold down a first team slot at their new, though temporary, clubs.
Chelsea sold Abraham well but also they're struggling to sell most of their players: Zappacosta, Emerson, Batshuayi, Bakayoko. All these have contracts until next summer plus 1 year option but seems a bit desperate to activate these clauses to 'protect value'. Then you add that Zouma is too expensive for West Ham and Drinkwater+Baba+Barkley are still Chelsea players... They had better summers, I think.
With this Covid market selling players for over €100M is rather good I would say. Bats loan is done. Emerson will be sold. Zap deal being worked, most likely loan. All the rest will be loaned. I think it has been a great transfer window that can still improve.

Batshuayi still contracted to Chelsea ?
It wouldn’t be the worst of summers in this scenario …
First Rabbi Matondo, and now Ko Itakura...

Barcelona, Madrid, City also have players they are willing to let go of. Apart from a few clubs, there really isnt that much liquidity in the market.
That's just superb business to be fair.
Good work.
Jeez only £23 mill? Go and get a DM and Haaland Woody ya cheap b@stard!
I don’t want financial stability I want a league trophy!
Hence why you don't believe them from the start
I'm looking forward to seeing what the more reliable journalists have to say about this.
Thought Zouma's a good player and did well last year ?
Business as usual, then. How often does the buying club pay the full fee up front?
Also, have pity on that poor, confused, stammering Klopp.
He's not bad, but Chelsea really want to get Jules Koundé. They're willing to let go of a decent defender like Zouma for a not-so-low fee in order to make this possible.
It's a bit misleading this for those that don't understand how finances work as it will be commonplace for all clubs.
For the next 4 years are we going to hear how £23.5m from 2021 needs to be added to whatever we spend that summer? What are we paying this year from previous purchases?
It's just amortization. Common practice. United have still spent 120 million on those two. Which is fine.

Kurt is a good player. Probably not great in a back three. His movement gets him in bad positions several times over the course of a game. Love his attitude and work ethic.
Shrewd business, if true.
Berry berry shrew indeed.
Even credit card type spending has to be paid back eventually. Enough of these deals and payments from past years that are due will mean no signings in transfer windows at all at some point.
Exactly. The club will be paying instalments from previous transfers.
Journalists, eh!
They hate that we're on an upward trajectory. Cue the hit pieces and criticisms!

Nonsense
Does amortization mean paying something back in instalments? I've googled it but my simple mind struggles to comprehend what exactly amortization is
The announcement video is teling their fans to Google who he is.
What Klopp again said about us?
