The Red Devils are interested in signing the player who played a quite peripheral role last term.
However, the Blues ended 12th in the Premier League during his first season in west London, failing to live up to the price tag.
Chelsea are currently offloading loads of their players and Cucurella could be among the set of players who could leave this summer.

Newcastle looking to sign Cucurella
Newcastle are looking to replace Dan Burn as a full-back and have picked Cucurella as their next target.
According to reports from Talk Sports, Mauricio Pochettino, who will take over as manager of Chelsea, may be likely to give the go-ahead for Cucurella's departure as he works to trim down his too-large squad.

Al-Hilal agree terms with Koulibaly, enters negotiations with Chelsea
Chelsea's Kalidou Koulibaly is nearing a move to Saudi Arabia as he has reportedly agreed on personal terms with Al-Hilal.
Chelsea might be compelled to accept a sale for £30 million, or half of what they spent for him, as they continue their summer offload.
Newcastle are also in talks with Arsenal for the signing of Kieran Tierney but the deal is yet to materialise.
Cucurella struggled at Chelsea
Cucurella failed to meet up with the standard at Chelsea and struggled in his first season at the club.
The 24-year-old missed the remaining seven games of the season due to an injury, and Ben Chilwell beat him out for the starting left-back position.
