Chelsea attacker Christian Pulisic is reportedly set to make the move to Manchester United in January.

The 24-year-old was linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge over the summer, but the transfer window closed with the United States international remaining in the English capital.

Pulisic has found it difficult to impress in the opening months of the 2022-23 campaign, though, managing just one goal and one assist in 13 Premier League appearances.

Meanwhile, he provided just one assist in four outings in the group stage of the Champions League, in addition to playing the full 90 minutes of the EFL Cup loss to Manchester City earlier this month.

Pulisic will soon enter the final 18 months of his contract at Stamford Bridge, and there remains a host of speculation surrounding his future in London.

Man United have been mentioned as possible suitors for the USA forward, as the Red Devils are currently short in the final third of the field due to Cristiano Ronaldo's recent departure.

Newcastle United are also said to be admirers, with the Magpies now in a position to make high-profile signings due to their recent takeover, which has made them one of the wealthiest sides in the world.

According to Calciomercato, Pulisic wants to leave Chelsea in January, with Juventus recently holding talks with his agent over a possible switch to Turin.

However, the report claims that the attacker is 'destined for Man United', with the deal set to go through when the January transfer window opens for business.

The forward is currently with the USA squad at the World Cup, helping his country reach the last-16 stage of the competition by scoring once and providing one assist in three appearances.

Man United head coach Erik ten Hag is said to be concerned by his lack of cover in the final third ahead of the second half of the campaign, with Ronaldo's recent exit leaving them short in a key area.

Pulisic, speaking to ESPN back in 2017, revealed that he was a Red Devils fan as a child.

"I was a big Manchester United fan when I was younger. I loved to watch (Wayne) Rooney. I wouldn't say I'm a similar player, though. I think his passion for the game is something you don't see much in players. That's what I loved about him," he said.

Pulisic made the move to Chelsea from Dortmund in 2019, and he has represented the Blues on 133 occasions in all competitions, contributing 26 goals and 21 assists in the process. body check tags ::
