  • Christian Pulisic has widely been linked with a Stamford Bridge exit this summer in pursuit of first-team action

  • Newcastle, Atletico Madrid, and Manchester United are some of the top clubs the 23-year-old has been linked with

Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic is reportedly set to snub a potential summer move to Manchester United.

Pulisic has struggled to break into the Blues' first team under Thomas Tuchel, leaving him with no choice but to push for a move away.

According to Metro UK, the American international has been seeking showdown talks with Tuchel to make it clear if he is in his plans.

It is understood that the arrival of Raheem Sterling has further complicated his place in the Chelsea set-up, and there are fears he is likely to be afforded only limited opportunities in his favourite positions.

Reports suggest that the ex-Borussia Dortmund ace had been contemplating his future at Stamford Bridge amid interest from both Newcastle United and Atletico Madrid.

Man United's Erik ten Hag is also said to be willing to offer him a temporary solution with a loan move to Old Trafford.

However, fresh reports claim that Pulisic is unlikely to complete a move to Old Trafford as earlier projected.

Daily Mail indicates the 23-year-old is set to perform a U-turn, commit his immediate future to Chelsea, and fight for a first-team place.

Pulisic is also understood to be unwilling to wait on United, who have prioritised other transfer targets, including Ajax's Antony.

The latest development surrounding Pulisic's future with Chelsea comes barely days after it emerged that the Blues are unwilling to allow him to join a direct rival.
