Man United's considering loan move for Christian Pulisic (SportsJOE.ie)

Manchester United are interested in making a move to sign Christian Pulisic on loan from Premier League rivals Chelsea before the end of the window.

The Red Devils are in desperate need of new forward-thinking options and Pulisic would represent that. Chelsea are keen to revitalise their attacking options and Thomas Tuchel has already gotten ride of two forwards. Newcastle United, Juventus and Atletico Madrid have all made approaches for the winger but it is believed he would be open to a move to Old Trafford.

Don't do it, Christian (Deadspin)

The transfer window is closing soon, and that would normally mean a pretty furious avalanche of rumors, requests, bids, and stories.

Fourteen in the league, six in the Champions League, and a League Cup game. And in a team that has a clear plan, a clear style, where his role will be strictly defined. Oh, and he’ll have to do Ronaldo’s running and pressing for him while Ronaldo scowls and huffs and makes sure the cameras pick up just how dissatisfied he is and how beneath him he thinks the rest of the team is. Erik Ten Hag is only two games into the season and can’t decide if he can play the way he wants with the players he has or has to rejigger everything to get results to stay high enough in the table to get the players he needs to play the way he wants. If Ronaldo stays, Pulisic can look forward to some combo of Ronaldo dropping into his space and then bitching at him when Pulisic doesn’t pass him the ball. You know you’re down bad and maybe not thinking straight when you consider the offer of the biggest basketcase team in the league, on the continent, and quite possibly on the planet. It’s not that Pulisic would ever lose his place in the USMNT squad, and likely not even the starting lineup. [Manchester United calling about a loan](https://www.espn.com/soccer/soccer-transfers/story/4724064/christian-pulisic-future-man-united-interested-in-loan-deal-for-usmnt-chelsea-forward), but that Pulisic didn’t laugh them out of the building. Maybe he won’t be as sharp as possible, but he’ll be on the field, and given Pulisic’s history, on the field is a relief. And while very few US fans would admit this, the idea of Pulisic just being a super-sub and spot-starter for Chelsea the next two and a half months is a-ok, because the chance of something going TWANG! This August’s window is even more fraught, because not only clubs like Barcelona and Manchester United scrambling and clawing for anything they can find on the shelves, and the clubs they eventually buy from needing to find replacements and on down the line, but players are frantic in trying to secure bigger roles to solidify either their spot on a World Cup roster or be as sharp as possible when that tournament rolls around in November. Normally with a summer World Cup, players would be doing this in the January transfer window, and would have a much more solid handle on where they fit with their current team and manager with the season already half-over.

Manchester United weigh up loan move for Chelsea's Christian Pulisic (The Guardian)

Manchester United could attempt to bolster their attacking options by trying to sign Christian Pulisic on loan from Chelsea.

The club are also prepared to let their 23-year-old centre-back Trevoh Chalobah leave on loan. The 19-year-old is poised to have a medical on Thursday. Cristiano Ronaldo is trying to leave, Anthony Martial is injured and Marcus Rashford, who is a target for Paris Saint-Germain, is out of form. United have not abandoned their pursuit of the Netherlands midfielder, but they accept the chances of signing him are low and they are exploring alternative options. Pulisic, who is also the subject of interest from Atlético Madrid, Juventus and Newcastle, has failed to establish himself as a regular starter since leaving Borussia Dortmund for £58m three years ago. Pulisic joining United on a permanent basis could be a more attractive option for Chelsea, who are rebuilding their attack.

Why a Christian Pulisic loan to Manchester United would make ... (Sporting News)

USMNT star Chrisitian Pulisic has had a tough time getting regular playing time at Chelsea, and the acquisition of Raheem Sterling has only made it tougher.

The Red Devils have the worst record in the Premier League, with zero points and a -5 goal differential after two games and a date with last season's runners-up Liverpool coming up next. At the start of the 2021-22 season, Sirius XM analyst Tom Rennie told SN, “I think the injuries are massively important, because being fit and available for selection is so, so important for anyone in sports. In the 2020 FA Cup final, he scored a goal in the sixth minute to give Chelsea a 1-0 lead over Arsenal, but the Blues were unable to build on that lead or, in the end, to hold it. So many of Chelsea’s many loans involve younger players unable to break into the first-team roster. He scored an away goal in the semifinals against Real Madrid, and then used his ingenuity to set up teammate Mason Mount for a tap-in to clinch the series victory over Madrid at home. He was sent into the most recent game with just seven minutes remaining, which is only a little more time than it takes to tie one’s shoes, run out onto the field, and then run back off at the final whistle.

Sancho’s underlying numbers suggest he can play a big role for the team this season, while Pulisic is almost certainly an upgrade on Rashford based on current form. In contrast though, it’s a different story for Rashford who ranked third out of the three in most of these key attacking metrics. Ten Hag might not be ready to give up on the forward just yet, however based on the above, it’s almost guaranteed that he’ll lose his place in the starting XI to Pulisic should he arrive. Not only did the American score the most goals, but he also looked to carry the most threat too, registering more shots (1.91) on a per 90 basis than both United stars - Sancho: 1.23, Rashford: 1.61. Sancho edged the trio in terms of creativity though. However, in the three years since, he has only managed to start 50

Chelsea's Actions Are Forcing Christian Pulisic's Hand (Sports Illustrated)

The USMNT star has stayed the course at Chelsea, but with the World Cup on the horizon and playing time seemingly limited, there's a choice to be made.

Then again, being thrown into what appears to be a toxic environment doesn’t sound particularly appealing, and the totality of his Chelsea career has not been a hindrance on his progress or stature with the U.S., either. Chelsea isn’t currently allowing for that to happen, which means his hand is being forced in one of two directions: Either stay the course, abide by the mantra and carry on without introducing any wild cards into the equation, or voice his desire to take a chance elsewhere and convince Chelsea to allow for that to occur. [the Red Devils are an absolute tire fire](https://www.si.com/soccer/2022/08/17/manchester-united-transfer-desperation-joke-musk-ronaldo), and it’s not certain what Pulisic would be getting himself into by potentially heading to Manchester. Make no mistake, his Chelsea adventure should not be viewed as failure—he’s won UEFA Champions League and Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup titles after all, and has contributed significantly along the way—and the inability to stockpile consistent playing time has, at times, been down to a matter of poor injury luck. If it’s made clear that Erik ten Hag would feature Pulisic regularly, then those consistent minutes in the Premier League and in Europe (albeit in the Europa League and not the Champions League) could be more beneficial for Pulisic, and by extension the U.S., than a wait-and-see game at Chelsea. It’s not leaving Pulisic, who has come off the bench in Chelsea’s first two matches of the season to play a grand total of 30 minutes (plus stoppage time), with much of a choice if he’s hoping to lock down a more regular role in the months leading into the World Cup. In addition to the Sterling signing—a player who operates in Pulisic’s preferred position on the left wing—Chelsea has reportedly and unsuccessfully gone after two more wingers, in Raphinha and Serge Gnabry. But that’s what you sign up for when you come to a club like this, and that’s what I’m just constantly ready for.” Any move at this juncture, three months before the start of the World Cup, needs to be weighed carefully. The narrative has remained a constant despite the vast amount of change that has occurred at Chelsea since Pulisic arrived in 2019. Throughout all of that, massive sums have been spent on players, especially attacking players, and some dwarf even the $73 million Chelsea paid Dortmund to sign Pulisic. At a big club like Chelsea, you constantly have to prove yourself and perform.
