Live Bar December 13, the Manchester Evening News wrote that Manchester United should not consider a visa waiver Rudiger, and his excellent performance is more due to Tuchel's tactical choices.
Rudiger has played well at Chelsea, but his contract with the team expires next summer and negotiations have yet to be reached as the German centre-back demands a £200,000 weekly salary, with teams including Manchester City, Paris, Bayern and Real Madrid interested in Rudiger.
The Manchester Evening News believes that although United may need to strengthen the centre-back in the winter window or next summer due to injuries, they should avoid falling into the trap of signing-free Rudiger.
Although Rudiger is free to get, the German's high salary demands means that signing his team still costs a lot of money, and in addition to that, Tuchel's playing style is the main reason for his excellent performance this season.
In Tuchel's style of play, Rudiger stands in front of the line, unlike traditional centre-backs, the German likes to insert forward and often gets long-range shooting opportunities, which is due to the fact that when he inserts forward, Tuchel will use two other center-backs, wing-backs and midfielders to protect, thereby reducing the damage he may cause to his own defense after entering the third zone.
Rudiger is very similar to David Luiz, performing poorly in the four-back system, but in the three centre-backs, he can insert himself in attack, which is already an integral part of Chelsea's game and will mask some of his reckless performances. United don't play in the three-centre-back system, so if they want to find a new centre-back, they should stay away from Rudiger.
