Chelsea star Cole Palmer could be tempted to join Manchester United if Michael Carrick is given the permanent job at Old Trafford, according to former Blues star Pat Nevin.
Palmer, signed from Manchester City last summer, has quickly established himself as a key figure, contributing goals, creativity and versatility across Chelsea’s frontline. His emergence has drawn widespread interest, but Chelsea remain determined to keep him as a cornerstone of their long-term project
Man United have been brilliant since the arrival of Carrick, and given that turnaround, Nevin suggests Manchester United are becoming a much more attractive proposition for a boyhood fan like Palmer, with Carrick’s role particularly significant.
‘Does Cole Palmer fancy playing for Manchester United? That’s it. Nobody knows except Cole Palmer,’ Nevin told BestBettingSites
‘If he says Manchester United, I’ve heard hints that he was a United fan as a kid. I don’t know if that’s true, but I’ve heard that was his team as a kid. That’s a draw.
‘When you look at what United are doing just now and how they’re playing, and the possibility that you might actually have stability at Manchester United, that becomes a temptation. With Michael Carrick, it just feels like a different place. It feels totally different.
‘I’ve been at Old Trafford a lot of times over the last few years and it’s been a hard place to watch football sometimes.
‘The feeling hasn’t even been ugly, just flat. Worse than anger is people being fed up, and you never want to see that at Manchester United because of the club it is, the history it has and the size it is. The Premier League needs a big Manchester United.
‘I hope Michael Carrick gets the job long term. I think the group that’s in just now has already shown enough that they can lift the club. I hope they get the job for at least the next year after this season, whatever happens between now and the end of the season. I’d give them that.’
