Graham Potter 'avoids' £44m star he 'doesn't like' amid Chelsea vs Man United team prediction

Graham Potter has been accused of 'not liking' Christian Pulisic in a bewildering rant by former United States international Eric Wynalda. The 24-year-old winger was heavily linked with an exit from Chelsea in the summer, having fallen out of favour under former boss Thomas Tuchel.

But, even under new management, Pulisic has struggled to nail down a place in the Blues' starting XI. He sees his contract at Stamford Bridge expire in 2024 and has featured nine times for the west Londoners in the Premier League this season, averaging just 31.6 minutes an appearance.

The USMNT star often resides on the bench for the west Londoners, with Mason Mount, Kai Havertz, Conor Gallagher and Raheem Sterling holding down the pair of inside-forward roles behind either Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang or Armando Broja. But according to Wynalda, Pulisic deserves as much of a chance as his teammates.
