# Manchester United: Christian Pulisic wants Chelsea stay in January

**Rumoured [Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/) transfer target Christian Pulisic wants to stay at Chelsea beyond January, according to *Sky Sport* journalist Florian Plettenberg.**

### The Lowdown: Man United linked with Pulisic

In recent days, the American has been [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/manchester-united-premier-league-christian-pulisic-transfer-news-updates/) with a move to Old Trafford as Erik ten Tag looks to fill the void left by the departed Cristiano Ronaldo.

Pulisic is [out of contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-pulisic/profil/spieler/315779) at Chelsea at the end of next season and his lack of regular starts could potentially leave him looking for a new challenge elsewhere.

While the 24-year-old could move on at some point soon, it doesn’t look as though it will be during this season.

### The Latest: Pulisic not keen to move

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Plettigoal/status/1597316398362959872?s=20&t=JJJmfnqW1FNcMN9QRN0B3g), Plettenberg claimed that Pulisic wants to stay at Chelsea beyond January instead of leaving in the next transfer window.

The reporter tweeted:

> “News #Pulisic: Rumors about Dortmund, United & Newcastle not hot. Been told that he wants to stay at #CFC in winter! He really tends to this plan. But: Talks could take place if he would receive a great and interesting offer after the World Cup. But it’s unlikely.”

### The Verdict: Summer move instead?

While this news may come as a disappointment to United – a January switch isn’t impossible – they should still look at making the move happen once this season reaches its conclusion.

At that point, Pulisic will only have a year remaining on [his contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-pulisic/profil/spieler/315779) and Chelsea may be looking to cash in on the winger, who has [scored 26 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-pulisic/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/315779/verein/631) in 133 appearances for the west London club.

At 24, the USA star is at a good age to come in and be a new hero for United – compatriot Tyler Adams has [described](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11459871/USA-captain-Tyler-Adams-warns-England-team-eager-hit-Wales-tie.html) him as ‘unbelievable’ – providing competition for places and adding more pace to an attack which has [often lacked that quality](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjx95e29dL7AhXUlFwKHXvcC5gQFnoECC0QAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.teamtalk.com%2Fmanchester-united%2Flimited-attacker-annoying-three-man-utd-teammates-ten-hag-call-hinting-not-happy-either&usg=AOvVaw0rStkBABwzKS8iAglReJeq) in recent years.
