LONDON. − Cole Palmer would be open to a sensational transfer to Manchester United.
Sun Sport revealed Chelsea star Palmer is unsettled in London two-and-a-half years on after his move from Manchester City.
And Mancunian Palmer would welcome any interest from boyhood club United.
Sources say Palmer would not entertain a return to City, where Pep Guardiola is still in charge.
City sold Palmer to Chelsea for Chelsea for £42.5million in September 2023 and he signed an improved contract until 2033 last season.
But Palmer misses his hometown of Wythenshawe and frequently returns to see family and friends.
The 23-year-old has only started 11 games this season amid a problematic groin injury and Palmer was not in the squad for Chelsea’s 3-1 win at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
United director of football Jason Wilcox was the academy head at City when Palmer was breaking through.
Wilcox expressed his belief that one of the City academy graduates could go on and win the Ballon d’Or.
United moved for former City striker Liam Delap last summer but he opted to join Chelsea.
Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada, previously the chief operating officer at City, will oversee recruitment at United again this summer.
Palmer is a left-footed playmaker and United already have several No10s, with two left-footers in Amad and Bryan Mbeumo. Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha arrived in the summer. − The Sun
