Christian Pulisic is being linked with a move to Manchester United - the club he supported as a boy.
The Red Devils have made an enquiry to sign the American winger on loan, to bolster their wavering line-up that has lost both of its opening games this season.
A move to Old Trafford is understood to be something Pulisic will consider because of his lack of gametime at Chelsea, with several forwards not keen on Thomas Tuchel’s style.
But there could be another reason for him wanting the United switch, given he supported the club as a boy and idolised Red Devils legend Wayne Rooney.
“I was a big Manchester United fan when I was younger," Pulisic told ESPN in 2017, via the Mirror.
“I loved to watch 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.”
