Chelsea attacker Christian Pulisic looks set to be involved in another transfer saga in the summer following reports that Manchester United have reignited their interest in the USMNT star.
The 24-year-old faces an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge because of the array of talent available to Graham Potter in attack. Since Todd Boehly completed his takeover of the club 10 months ago, six forwards have been signed - with over £150 million spent on improving the club's options the final third.
Pulisic was said to be close to leaving the club in the summer with Newcastle and Man United said to be keen before the possibility of a winter deal was quickly put to an end after he sustained an injury at the start of January.

However, Pulisic's situation is set to become a hot topic come the end of the season. Chelsea will be forced to sell a number of first team players to trim down Potter's group and Pulisic has been touted as one of the players touted to be shown the door.
Now, Man United are said to have reignited their interest in Pulisic and will have to meet Chelsea's reported £37m asking price. However, with a new striker the priority at Old Trafford, the Red Devils may be forced to sell at least five players from Erik ten Hag's squad in order to raise funds.
According to the Daily Express, Brandon Williams, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Anthony Martial, Victor Lindelof and Teden Mengi are all at risk of having their time in Manchester cut short. None are consistent figures in United's team and have lost their place to players signed by Ten Hag.
Williams and Wan-Bissaka are struggling for a place in te United team because of the form of Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot. Lindelof, like Harry Maguire, has fallen down the pecking order due to Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez's performances while Martial has had to deal with injuries.
Pulisic's contract expires in 2024 and with Boehly's newly-formed policy of avoiding letting players enter the final two years of their deal, the summer seems the perfect chance for Chelsea to cash-in.
