"Despite some injury problems, Anselmino was making good progress in Germany. However, he was recalled by Chelsea in January, and his career has quickly started to spiral."
"Anselmino left Dortmund in tears when he was recalled by Chelsea due to a lack of defenders at Stamford Bridge, highlighting his emotional attachment to the team."
"At the French club, Anselmino has played a total of 11 minutes of football and is struggling to carve out first-team opportunities for himself, indicating a significant decline in his career."
"Ineos are prioritising making Yoro and Heaven starters in the long-term, and Anselmino could have been in that position had he chosen to join United instead of Chelsea."
Aaron Anselmino was linked to Manchester United but chose Chelsea, who signed him for £15m. After loan spells at Boca Juniors and Borussia Dortmund, he faced injuries and was recalled by Chelsea. Overlooked by the new Chelsea manager, he joined Strasbourg on loan but has only played 11 minutes. At 20, he is falling down the pecking order and will return to Chelsea in the summer. Meanwhile, Manchester United has successfully added young defenders to their squad, potentially leaving Anselmino regretting his choice.
