As reported by Calciomercato.it, via MilanNews24, Manchester United is keen on Pulisic, preferring him over other options like Rafael Leão, who was previously involved in a proposed swap deal for Joshua Zirkzee, which ultimately fell through.
The Red Devils are impressed by Pulisic’s versatility, valuing his ability to play as a winger, attacking midfielder, or second striker, which greatly appeals to the club’s recruitment team.

Milan Unhurried to Sell Pulisic Despite Interest from Manchester United
AC Milan is not under pressure to offload Pulisic and is reportedly willing to wait before initiating serious negotiations. The club aims to assess Pulisic’s performances during the World Cup with the US national team, hoping a strong showing could elevate his market value beyond the current €60 million asking price.
A meeting between the clubs is anticipated at the end of the season, aiming to clarify both the player’s preferences and United’s genuine interests. Despite AC Milan’s recent goal-scoring struggles, Pulisic is regarded as a key asset, with no intention of letting him go for less than his value.
A potential transfer to Old Trafford would mark a return to England for Pulisic, who spent four years at Chelsea before joining Milan in 2023.
