Stunning reports have claimed Manchester United are being backed to finally sign boyhood Red Devils fan Cole Palmer if they can lure the Chelsea star’s former manager, Mauricio Pochettino, back to England.
In 81 Premier League games for Chelsea the 23‑year‑old has produced 40 goals and 18 assists and he is now easily considered to be one of the most highly-rated young players in the game, and a player that the Blues really rely on.
But despite the fact he has a long term contract, despite the fact he has now shown any desire to leave in previous windows, there is always speculation that he could leave if a big club comes calling.
Now – Palmer has been tipped to make the move to Manchester United if the Red Devils are able to bring Mauricio Pochettino back to England after he leads the USA at the world cup in the summer.
Rene Meulensteen, who once worked alongside Sir Alex Ferguson in Manchester, has told Casinostugan: “Could Mauricio Pochettino convince Cole Palmer to come to Manchester United? Only if Chelsea would be willing to let him go.
‘Palmer is a fantastic player and I think he would suit Manchester United really well and the way they should be playing because he is a difference maker. That’s always what you want.
“You’d need to think about how he’s going to fit in because on that right-hand side, where Cole is playing to come into the pocket, obviously you can have Amad Diallo there too or [Bryan] Mbeumo. Bruno [Fernandes] operates in the middle.
“Palmer was a boyhood United fan and it’s actually too strange for words that United never picked up on it and made sure that they sounded him out about his plans if he ever were to leave City. It’s very strange that it never happened, in my opinion.”
