According to a Fabrizio Romano report, Manchester United received an offer to purchase both Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie around the end of the summer transfer window.
The transfer expert claimed on his own YouTube channel that late in the transfer window, a deal for Antony was becoming more and more challenging to complete, and their efforts for Frenkie de Jong and Adrien Rabiot were coming to a standstill, Man United was offered a bevy of players.
Christian Pulisic was reportedly offered to Manchester United, but they only desired to sign the USMNT standout temporarily. The 23-year-old Pulisic was solely interested in a permanent transfer to Chelsea, and nothing transpired.
Regarding McKennie, it appears that United turned down Juve's bid to sign the 24-year-old USMNT central midfielder because Erik ten Hag's team was 'searching for a different kind of player for midfield.'
Intriguing.
Look, numerous players, such as Yannick Carrasco, Leandro Paredes, and Memphis Depay, were late-period offers to Manchester United.
We can learn a lot about Chelsea and Juventus' plans for the future from the fact that two of the USMNT's top players were supposedly offered to them as well.
Both have struggled with injuries and have spent a lot of time in and out of the starting lineup. In recent months, McKennie has performed better than Pulisic at securing a starting position at a European heavyweight in the Champions League. Given that Pulisic has fewer than two years left on his current Chelsea contract and McKennie is expected to have a breakout World Cup in November or December, it will be interesting to see what happens with them in January and the summer.
This implies that Manchester United is keeping an eye on both players, especially Pulisic, and one of them may transfer to Old Trafford in the future.
It's also interesting to note that Romano claims Sergio Dest was not presented to Manchester United or the USMNT. But given that his hurried loan transfer to AC Milan might put him below Davide Calabria and Theo Hernandez in the line of succession for the full-back slots, is it possible that Dest will reunite with Erik ten Hag soon?
