FootballTransfer said 'Mudryk has been suspended from all football activities after a doping test came back positive late last year. He could be suspended for four years.

Mudryk was once one of the young talents representing Ukraine. Shakhtar Donetsk received a lot of attention for his tremendous performance and moved to Chelsea through the winter transfer window in January 2023. At that time, it recorded a huge transfer fee of 100 million euros (about 150 billion won). From Shakhtar's days to powerful dribbles, powerful shots through tremendous speed, and movements after passing, he was highly evaluated in various areas, and his play style was compared with Son Heung-min after joining the English Premier League (EPL).
However, after moving to Chelsea, expectations for Moody's have been dampened. Only the shortcomings were noticeable, and the performance was minimal. He lacked competitive ability, destructive power through breakthrough, and attack deployment using shooting were both insufficient. In 17 games in the first season, he played only two assists, and the previous 2023-2024 season fell far short of expectations with seven goals and two assists in 41 games. This season, he scored three goals and four assists in 15 games, but three goals and three assists were accumulated in the Europa Conference League, not the league.

This season's big problem has been revealed. It was the doping controversy. British public broadcaster BBC reported in December last year that it was "completely shocked" after Mykhailo Mudryk tested positive for a banned substance and that Mudryk had been confirmed to have tested positive for a banned substance, which the player vehemently denied using. Chelsea said it would try to determine the positive cause. If he is found to have intentionally taken the drug, he could be suspended for up to four years'
At the time, Mudryk "I confirmed that I had been informed that the sample contained prohibited substances. I was completely shocked because I never used such a substance intentionally, nor did I break the rules. We are working closely with the team to investigate. I know I didn't do anything wrong, and I'm hopeful that I can come back. I can't say more because of the secrecy, but I'll tell you everything as soon as I can", but he has yet to play after the game on December 1 last year.

Despite being a controversial player, Manchester United has started recruiting. In the previous winter transfer market, Antony and Marcus Rashford left on loan, and Alejandro Garnacho is being discussed for Manchester United. It is necessary to reinforce the second line. It seems that they are considering Mudryk as an offensive resource to add to the second line.
Meanwhile, in addition to Manchester United, news has been reported that Leverkusen may also be able to recruit Moodrique, so depending on the results of further investigation into doping, the possibility of Moodrique leaving the team in the upcoming summer may increase. Football Transfer is said to be involved in recruiting `Leverkusendo Mudryk as well. This is raised as a concern that Manchester United could face competition.
