Manchester United fans believe Cole Palmer is destined to join their club before his senior career ends.
The England international starred during his debut campaign at Chelsea, following a €47 million move from Manchester City last summer, and he still has six years left on his current deal at Stamford Bridge.
However, several Red Devils supporters think a move to Old Trafford could be on the cards, mainly due to the fact Palmer is a boyhood Man Utd fan.

In response to a highlights reel of Palmer’s first season at Chelsea, one Man Utd fan account posted on social media: “Anyone else just feel like Palmer to Manchester United is inevitable? Feel like in 3-4 years when we start looking for Bruno’s replacement he’ll be perfect.”
Another added: “It's definitely going to happen at some point. No doubt,” while a third said: “Has to happen one day.”
Palmer famously scored a hat-trick against Man Utd during a 4-3 comeback win for Chelsea back in April, and he was subsequently asked about a viral picture of him wearing a Red Devils shirt as a youngster.

Despite progressing through Man City’s academy system, Palmer admitted: “Yeah, when I was growing up I was a United fan.”
Several supporters believe the England international is destined to leave Chelsea and join Man Utd at some point in his career as a result.
However, he is adored by Chelsea fans and looks set to become a key player at Stamford Bridge for the foreseeable future.

Cole Palmer at Chelsea
Palmer scored 25 goals and provided 15 assists in 46 games last season as he became a talismanic figure at Chelsea.
His form earned him an England call-up for Euro 2024 and he scored the Three Lions’ equaliser during their 2-1 loss to Spain in the final.
The 22-year-old will be reunited with Enzo Maresca when he returns from holiday, with the pair having worked together at Man City.
