Terry The Chelsea captain could join Manchester United if he does not get
more games for the Blues, says his former first-team coach, Ray Wilkins.Ex-Blues coach Ray Wilkins, who played for both clubs, believes that
the veteran defender could look to reunite with Jose Mourinho should he
keep being overlooked by Antonio Conte.
The ex-England skipper has struggled to regain his place in Antonio
Conte’s team after coming back from an ankle ligament injury suffered
against Swansea City in September.And despite reported interest from several Chinese Super League
clubs, Wilkins, who made over 300 appearances combined for both clubs,
believes that Terry’s next destination is more likely to be a bit closer
to home – with his old boss, Jose Mourinho, potentially interested in a
reunion.“I couldn’t agree more [that Terry will snub a move to China],” he
told talkSPORT. ” I don’t think China will be on John’s radar.“What about Old Trafford? He’s not playing for Chelsea but I think he
still has plenty to offer. There will be someone out there who would
love to have him.”It looked as though Terry would leave Chelsea last summer after talks
over a new contract no longer appeared likely but, to some surprise, in
May the club legend agreed a deal to stay until the end of the 2016-17
season.But with Conte switching to a more fluid three-man defence, it may be
that the centre-back’s trophy-filled era at Chelsea could finally be
coming to an end.
