Report: Cole Palmer was close to Man United move

Cole Palmer was reportedly on the verge of joining Manchester United during his time at Manchester City’s academy, according to former academy coach Colin Little.

The Chelsea star, who made the switch to Stamford Bridge for €47 million in 2023, has since flourished into one of the top talents in world football. However, things could have taken a very different turn had he opted for Man United instead.

Speaking on the Talk of the Devils podcast, Little shared details about United’s failed attempt to sign Palmer when he was 16.
