Overview

• Chloe Kelly, 27, has struggled for game time at Manchester City this season, starting only one Women’s Super League match since October.
• Manchester United is reportedly interested in signing Kelly on loan to bolster their attack, though City may hesitate to strengthen a direct rival.
• Kelly’s lack of minutes has raised concerns for England manager Sarina Wiegman, who emphasized the importance of regular club football ahead of Euro 2025.
• Kelly was absent from Manchester City's squad for the derby match against United, with the club citing an ankle injury despite her training the previous evening.
• City’s potential signing of Brazilian forward Kerolin and other attacking reinforcements could further limit Kelly’s opportunities, making a January move more likely.
