Manchester United could move for Chelsea attacker Christian Pulisic during this summer's transfer window, according to a report.

Manchester United could reportedly move for Chelsea attacker Christian Pulisic during this summer's transfer window.

The 24-year-old has struggled to make his mark for the Blues during the 2022-23 campaign, only managing one goal and two assists in 21 appearances in all competitions.

Pulisic has one goal and one assist in 16 Premier League outings this term, although he has not featured in the league since the start of January due to a knee injury.

The United States international has entered the final 18 months of his contract at Stamford Bridge, and there has been a host of speculation surrounding his future in recent months.

Chelsea's business over the last two transfer windows has allegedly made Pulisic surplus to requirements this summer, with the capital outfit preparing to sell him.

According to The Mirror, Man United are one of five clubs keeping a close eye on the American's situation.

The report claims that Newcastle United, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus and Los Angeles FC are the other clubs in the hunt for the forward's signature.

Meanwhile, a recent report said that Real Madrid were contenders, with Pulisic's versatility appealing to the Spanish champions, who could let the likes of Mariano Diaz, Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio leave this summer.

Pulisic has featured on 136 occasions for Chelsea in all competitions since arriving from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2019, contributing 26 goals and 21 assists in the process.

However, he has largely struggled to replicate the form that made him one of the brightest prospects in world football at Dortmund.

Man United are expected to be in the market for a couple of new attackers this summer, with Anthony Martial potentially being allowed to depart on a permanent basis.

Wout Weghorst, as it stands, will return to parent club Burnley following the completion of his loan spell.

Cristiano Ronaldo's contract was terminated last November, meanwhile, meaning that head coach Erik ten Hag has limited first-team options when it comes to the centre-forward spot.

Pulisic was linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in January, although his knee injury ended any real chance that he had of departing Graham Potter's side.
