Chelsea and United States midfielder Christian Pulisic has reportedly become a potential transfer target for Manchester United. The Premier League club is considering bringing Pulisic to Old Trafford on a loan deal.

With Chelsea willing to allow Pulisic to leave during the January transfer window, a deal of this nature remains a possibility. Although Man Utd initially did not plan to make any major transfers in January, the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo from the club has created a sense of urgency for the club to reinforce its squad.

According to several sources, Pulisic’s versatility as both a midfielder and an attack has made him an appealing option for the Red Devils, who are looking to fill several voids left behind by Ronaldo and other players such as Martial who are missing through injury.

The 24-year-old player has proven himself to be a key player for the United States both before and during the ongoing World Cup, having played every minute of the tournament in Qatar.

Prior to joining Chelsea in 2019, Pulisic was a transfer target of both Manchester United and bitter rivals Liverpool. Ultimately, it was the Blues that landed his signature.
