Thiago Silva’s Potential Move from Chelsea to Manchester United: Lawrenson’s Prediction.
Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson believes that Chelsea center-back Thiago Silva may make a surprising move to Manchester United on a free transfer this summer.
Silva recently announced that he will be leaving Chelsea at the end of the season after four years with the club. Despite nearing his 40th birthday in September, Silva continues to demonstrate his ability to perform at the top level.

Lawrenson suggests that Silva could join another Premier League team, especially one that plays with a back-three formation, as the Brazilian defender excels in such systems. He notes that several clubs may express interest in Silva, even if it’s initially for a single season with the possibility of an extension based on his performance.
“I can envision Thiago Silva joining Manchester United this summer,” Lawrenson told Paddy Power. “He would be a valuable addition for them as long as he remains fit, given his exceptional skills and experience. Silva also possesses the ability to play the ball out from the back effectively, an aspect that has been lacking in United’s central defenders this season.”
