Manchester United are interested in signing Christian Pulisic but according to Daily Mail, the Chelsea winger is not willing to leave right now.
Pulisic moved to the Premier League with a lot of hope but he’s been massively unsuccessful at the club. During his four seasons at the club, he’s played only 117 times across all competitions, scoring 25 goals.
He’s fallen down the pecking order this season and since Chelsea have signed Raheem Sterling, the manager is now willing to part ways with Christian Pulisic.
Man United are keen to sign the USMNT international on a loan deal for the Blues but Pulisic would rather remain in London to try and fight for his place under Thomas Tuchel.

Will Man United give up the chase for Christian Pulisic?
Pulisic has been highly disappointing in the Premier League but he’s just 23 years old so signing him(on a loan deal) will be worth the gamble for Manchester United.
However, the transfer window is closing soon which is why United are not going to waste any time convincing Christian Pulisic to leave Chelsea and head to Old Trafford.
As per the latest rumours, United are now fully focused on signing Antony from Ajax. The right-winger is very much keen to join Erik ten Hag’s side and if Ajax agree to a deal then this transfer will be a go.
Manchester United are in contact with Antony agents as deal now depends on Ajax decision: key days ahead, while Cody Gakpo's camp is also in direct contact with Man Utd since 2 weeks. 🚨🔴 #MUFC

We don’t think Ajax will be able to resist too long because Antony wants the move which also means Manchester United are not expected to go back for Christian Pulisic in the next few days.
The USMNT international thinks he still has a future at Chelsea Football Club so he will now have to fight the likes of Mount, Sterling, Ziyech and Havertz to move up the pecking order and become a regular starter for Tuchel.
