The USMNT star laid bare his thoughts in an interview with ESPN.

"This summer transfer window is absolutely a time where I need to figure out what's best for my future, somewhere I can go and play and be trusted and feel good in what I'm doing. I want to find that joy at a club level again."

Chelsea's Christian Pulisic

Manchester United have been interested in Pulisic in reen times but seem unlikely to make any move at this moment in time. The 24-year-old does however, have interest from French side Lyon and Serie A giants AC Milan, who are interested in a loan move.

Chelsea paid Dortmund £58million to sign Pulisic in January 2019, with the winger officially arriving in the summer and it is safe to say it has not been a great investment.
