Man United are reportedly interested in signing one of AC Milan’s top stars in the summer.
Man United are in a great position right now, as they sit fourth in the Premier League, just five points away from Aston Villa in third, with winnable games against Everton and Crystal Palace coming up.
The Red Devils will be thinking about the long-term too, though, as they aren’t sure who their next permanent manager will be, whether that is Michael Carrick or someone else, but either way, they will need backing in the summer transfer market.
With Bruno Fernandes’ future uncertain, United will be looking to strengthen in the attack, and reports have suggested they could target former Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic.
AC Milan ‘open’ to Pulisic sale
Reports emerged last week which suggested that Man United are keeping tabs on former Chelsea star Pulisic. It is understood that his future at AC Milan is uncertain, and he could be sold in the summer, which puts the Red Devils on alert. He would be a wise acquisition, as he’s experienced in both the Premier League and Champions League, and could be a great addition for whichever manager takes charge of United next year.
According to Caught Offside, AC Milan are open to selling the US international too, despite him being such a key player for them. It is claimed they would demand at least £61m for him, which would give them enough to find a good replacement for the 27-year-old should he leave.
Pulisic has made 17 Serie A appearances this season for Milan, as he has been dealing with injury problems. He’s still managed to score eight goals and provide two assists for Milan. The former Chelsea star could be willing to return to the Premier League, just three years after he left Stamford Bridge in 2023.
Man United want to sign a winger in the summer
It seems that based on current reports, Man United would like to sign a winger in the summer. Pulisic isn’t the only wide player who the Red Devils have been linked with in recent weeks, as they are also interested in signing RB Leipzig star Yan Diomande.
Fabrizio Romano reported over the weekend that the Red Devils have been scouting Diomande, alongside the likes of Liverpool and Tottenham. Romano said: “There is a lot of interest from several clubs in England and also in France, because Paris Saint-Germain have been monitoring the player. Several clubs are following Yan Diomande, who is one of the most interesting wingers around.”
The Ivory Coast international has made 21 Bundesliga appearances this season, scoring eight goals and providing three assists. The 19-year-old is also a very high-potential player, so the Red Devils could either go with youth and potential in Diomande or they could opt for experience in Pulisic. Both players are expected to cost at least £60m, so it is a big decision to make.
