Manchester United are interested in three Chelsea forwards, according to the Evening Standard journalist Nizaar Kinsella.
In addition to Christian Pulisic, the Manchester club are also believed to be weighing up moves for the likes of Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi as manager Erik ten Hag looks to strengthen his frontline:
Manchester United want Christian Pulisic on loan.
The American winger is one of several attackers growing unhappy at Stamford Bridge amid talks to sign Anthony Gordon.

While some fans on Twitter believe signing the trio would strengthen United’s attack, most feel that the Red Devils shouldn’t be looking to recruit cast-offs from one of their rivals:

Out of the three, the most likely player to sign for United is probably Ziyech. Ten Hag already knows him from their time together at Ajax, and he is expected to be available relatively cheaply.
A deal for Pulisic could be complicated. The American is available on loan but there is a feeling that Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly would prefer to sell, which could make negotiations more difficult.
When it comes to Hudson-Odoi, the 21-year-old has flattered to deceive when he has been handed opportunities so, unless ten Hag sees something in him, it would probably not be worth the gamble.
