TL;DR – Two-minute read
Tim Howard expressed his desire to see Christian Pulisic, formerly of Chelsea, join Manchester United following the forward’s impressive form at AC Milan. Pulisic contributed eight goals and two assists in Serie A this season, prompting interest from major clubs. Howard believes Pulisic could excel in the Premier League after a successful stint in Italy.
Former Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic has been linked with a move to Manchester United, according to comments made by Tim Howard. The former Manchester United and United States goalkeeper shared his thoughts on the potential transfer during a recent episode of “Unfiltered Soccer.”
Tim Howard expressed confidence that Pulisic could reach “another level” in the Premier League. Pulisic, who is currently playing for AC Milan, has made a significant impact in Serie A, scoring eight goals and providing two assists this season, which has reportedly attracted interest from Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool.
Howard compared Pulisic’s situation to that of Kevin De Bruyne and Mohamed Salah, both of whom improved abroad before thriving in the Premier League. He stated, “He’s put AC Milan on his back and he’s been the best player in that league,” suggesting that Pulisic has matured and developed since his time at Chelsea.
Howard articulated the importance of Pulisic’s mentality regarding a potential transfer. He noted, “If he’s really saying, ‘I want more of that, I’ve got something to prove here,’… I’d like to see him on these teams.” He believes a move to one of the top clubs would provide Pulisic with a clear plan for his career.
Landon Donovan, Howard’s podcast co-host and another former US international, acknowledged Pulisic’s talent but raised concerns about his physical ability to compete at the highest level consistently due to past injury issues. He remarked, “I don’t know physically if he could do it every single week for two or three years like some of these guys because it’s really hard.”
As Pulisic continues to impress in Serie A, the footballing world will be watching closely to see if a transfer materialises this summer.
