Man Utd set to miss out on Christian Pulisic transfer with Chelsea winger only open to joining Champions League club

MANCHESTER UNITED are set to miss out on signing Christian Pulisic from Chelsea, according to reports.

The Red Devils began to consider a loan deal for the winger earlier this week.

New boss Erik ten Hag is keen to add to his attacking ranks following United's disastrous start to the Premier League season.

However, they may now have to consider alternative options as Pulisic is reluctant to make the switch.

According to , he wants to join a club that is competing in the Champions League.

And if he cannot do this, he would prefer to remain at Stamford Bridge rather than make the move to Old Trafford.

Man Utd are now looking to pursue a deal for Ajax winger Antony.

The Red Devils made another bid for the Brazil international worth £67.5million on Thursday, but it was rejected by the Eredivisie giants.

Ajax reportedly want £84m for their star man - a fee which United chiefs would be reluctant to pay.

PSV winger Cody Gakpo has since emerged as an alternative target.

The 23-year-old did sign a contract extension with the Dutch side earlier this year to keep him at the club until 2026.

But, it is understood that PSV would be willing to listen to offers if a suitable approach is made.
