Mudryk, who joined Chelsea two years ago over a potential transfer to Arsenal, has struggled to make an impact under various managers, with Enzo Maresca the latest to fail in finding a spot for him in the starting lineup.
Despite opportunities in cup competitions, Mudryk has been unable to cement his place in the first team.
Mudryk’s Chelsea Struggles
Petit believes Mudryk’s time at Chelsea is running out, stating that the winger has not improved since his arrival and is wasting valuable years of his career.
According to Petit, the player’s confidence is low, and his future at Stamford Bridge seems uncertain, especially with a new sporting direction at the club.
A Fresh Start at Manchester United
Petit sees a potential fresh start for Mudryk at Manchester United under Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 formation. He believes this tactical setup could suit the Ukrainian’s skill set, especially playing in a more central role behind the striker.
Petit emphasized that Mudryk needs to make a decision soon, as continuing at Chelsea risks further stalling his development.
