Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has suggested that Manchester United should consider making a move for 22-year-old Cole Palmer from Chelsea in the next summer transfer window.
Carragher pointed out Palmer’s strong connection to Manchester United and his impressive performance since his transfer from Manchester City to Chelsea last summer.
Describing Palmer as one of Chelsea’s standout players for the 2024-2025 season, Carragher emphasized that Manchester United could have a real opportunity to bring the Englishman to Old Trafford in the near future.
Speaking on The Overlap with Sky Bet, Carragher said, “He [Palmer] is a big Man United fan, isn’t he? Would that not be something that United should look into maybe in twelve months if things don’t go well [at Chelsea]? You know what? I think that could happen. Yeah, Cole Palmer to Man United.”
Cole Palmer joined Chelsea from Manchester City on September 1, 2023, for a transfer fee of €47 million. Since then, the England international, primarily an attacking midfielder, has scored 25 goals and provided 15 assists in 47 games across all competitions.
Despite his importance to coach Enzo Maresca’s team at Stamford Bridge, it might be challenging for the 22-year-old to leave Chelsea anytime soon.
