Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing former Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic next year.

The United States of America international has seven goals and five assists in 15 appearances for AC Milan so far this season, and his form has attracted the attention of several top Premier League clubs.

Liverpool have been heavily linked with a move for the 26-year-old amid Mohamed Salah’s uncertain future at Anfield, while Arsenal and Man Utd have now joined the race for his signature, as per The Daily Briefing.

Arsenal are eager to sign a new winger in 2025 following concerns over Bukayo Saka’s workload, and Man Utd are also looking at Pulisic as Ruben Amorim’s reign at Old Trafford begins.

The 39-year-old is expected to deploy a 3-4-3 formation during the early weeks of his Man Utd career and several wingers have been linked with the Red Devils amid the inconsistent form of Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho.

Sporting CP trio Geovany Quenda, Marcus Edwards and Pedro Goncalves have all emerged as candidates to join Man Utd in recent weeks, while Pulisic is also being monitored by the Old Trafford outfit, according to The Daily Briefing.

The USMNT superstar left Chelsea to join Milan for a mere €20 million last summer, but the Serie A giants have reportedly placed a €65m price tag on his head following his impressive start to the new campaign.

Christian Pulisic is ‘world class’

Man Utd’s interest in Pulisic comes after he was showered with praise by former USA defender Alexi Lalas.

Lalas told his ‘State of the Union’ show in September: “What is world class? Well, you've got your definition, I have my definition. But if you want to know what world class is, it's Christian Pulisic.

“I think he's playing his best soccer of his career. And I'm telling you right now, Christian Pulisic at this moment is one of the top 25 players in the world. He just happens to be American.”
