ESPN reported on Wednesday that Manchester United has inquired about the availability of Chelsea and US Men’s National Team player Christian Pulisic. The Red Devils are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing the player on a loan deal.
Although he still has two years left on his contract, Pulisic has reportedly grown frustrated at his lack of game time for the Blues. The midfielder played for just 30 minutes across Chelsea’s first two Premier League games, coming on as a substitute in both matches. Pulisic struggled with injury last season, starting in only 13 Premier League games.
Man Utd’s interest in Pulisic comes as the club scrambles to sign new talents before the close of the transfer window in a couple of weeks. Furthermore, the Red Devils appear desperate to turn their fortunes around after losing their first two Premier League games; the team’s worst-ever start to a Premier League season.
Juventus and Atletico Madrid have also expressed an interest in the player, with Newcastle United also believed to be monitoring the situation.
Chelsea’s willingness to let go of Pulisic may rest on the club’s ability to land a replacement. The Blues currently have their sights set on Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Everton midfielder Anthony Gordon.
