Christian Pulisic should remain at Chelsea and not go to Manchester United. Those are the thoughts of former Chelsea player Glen Johnson who has been speaking about the winger ahead of the Premier League return.
"I want Chelsea to keep Christian Pulisic, he shouldn't leave for Manchester United," Johnson told Midnite.
"I have defended him for a long time and said he has so much potential, but now he needs to prove it. He still has loads to give, give him one more serious season, but if we're having the same conversations this time next year, he has to go."

Pulisic's future at Stamford Bridge remains uncertain after returning from the World Cup this month. The 23-year-old was linked with a loan to Manchester United back in August as frustrations grew with Thomas Tuchel and his playing time.
Nothing came to fruition but hints of an exit heading into 2023 have not dissipated although his chances under Graham Potter slightly improved before the international break.
The winger enjoyed a fruitful World Cup away from club football, scoring a huge goal against Iran to secure the USA's qualification from Group B, also proving his creative talent, setting up the two other goals scored by the US in the tournament.
Pulisic could feature next week against Bournemouth when the Blues return to Premier League action at Stamford Bridge as Potter desperately needs a win after losing three straight league games before the break.
