Update Christian Pulisic transfer to Man United news
How has Christian Pulisic played at Chelsea last season?
Christian Pulisic transfer fee was up to £58 million when joining Chelsea, according to Marca. He scored 9 goals in the Premier League in his first year with “The Blues” before helping the London team win the Champions League in the 2020/2021 season.
However, Pulisic does not have a regular starting position. Last season, coach Thomas Tuchel often used Pulisic in the position of full-back many times. Pulisic has started two Premier League matches this season both from the bench. Although the summer transfer window of 2022 saw two strikers Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner leave, Pulisic still could not compete for a spot on the attacking front. That’s why the American star made a move to ask to leave.
Pulisic can bring many options to Man United thanks to its versatility. This player can swing wide and play as an attacking midfielder. Transfermarkt listed Pulisic in six different positions in 38 appearances in all competitions last season.
The event of Pulisic transfer to Manchester United will help the “Red Devils” refresh the attack. They lost 2 matches in a row and finished at the bottom of the Premier League table. Even the Old Trafford team only had 1 goal from an own goal in the 1-2 defeat against Brighton.
Despite his difficulties at Chelsea, Pulisic is a talented player. He scored 21 goals and provided 10 assists in 50 appearances for the US team.

Pulisic transfer to Man United on loan
In the Chelsea transfer news today, let’s talk about Christian Pulisic. MU asked Chelsea about the possibility of Pulisic transfer to Man United on loan for the 2022/23 season. The Athletic’s Andy Mitten added that the 23-year-old star was frustrated by not being used at Stamford Bridge and wanted to join the “Red Devils”.
Newcastle United, Juventus, and Atletico Madrid also want Pulisic’s services. However, if he had to leave Chelsea, the player born in 1998 only wanted to wear the Man Utd shirt even though this team did not have a ticket to the Champions League.
MU is considered a team that can meet this player’s aspirations. In the context of the upcoming 2022 World Cup, the Red Devil’s offer is like a “lifesaver” for Pulisic. The problem with Pulisic is that MU has only offered to borrow, not buy him outright, while the Chelsea side is only willing to loan the player wearing the number 10 shirt if the parties sign a new agreement.
More specifically, Chelsea can allow Christian Pulisic transfer to Man United on loan if the player agrees to extend his contract first. Owner Todd Boehly would rather sell the US captain than accept MU’s loan request but is considering that option if Pulisic agrees to a two-year contract extension.
Pulisic’s contract with Chelsea is valid until the summer of 2024, Chelsea wants to extend him until 2026 before letting the player leave on loan. Chelsea spent £58 million to have Pulisic from Dortmund two years ago, if this player plays well at Old Trafford, his value will be significantly increased.
