Christian Pulisic is “the best player at AC Milan right now” and the only American that would feature on a list of the “top 150 players in the world”, claims one of his former coaches.

However, they are apparently open to the 29-year-old departing on a temporary basis during the January transfer window and have offered his services to United.

Vinicius Junior making a move to Chelsea remains a ”fairytale shout”, says former Blues midfielder Jody Morris, with the Real Madrid superstar considered to be “too old” for owners at Stamford Bridge that prefer to focus on youth and potential.

USMNT star Christian Pulisic has formed part of a Ronaldo comparison on the back of the chances that he squandered in AC Milan’s frustrating 1-1 draw with Fiorentina.
