Manchester United are considering a loan move for Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic, according to reports.
The 23-year-old has been named on the bench in Chelsea's first Premier League games of the season after being a rotation player last season for the Blues.
With the 2022 World Cup in Qatar at the end of the year, Pulisic could look for a loan move to increase his minutes ahead of the competition.

Chelsea have signed Raheem Sterling this summer, who plays in the same position as Pulisic and will likely limit his numbers once more.
However, with Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku leaving, Chelsea could be left short for attacking options if they are to let another forward leave this summer.
Callum Hudson-Odoi is set for a loan move after Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly pleaded with the winger to remain at the club in the long-term and not seek a permanent transfer.

The likes of Borussia Dortmund, Southampton, Leicester City and Newcastle have shown interest in Hudson-Odoi ahead of a loan move.
Furthermore, Hakim Ziyech has been linked with a transfer away from Stamford Bridge but AC Milan have since cooled their interest.
It was believed that Man United could make a move to sign the Moroccan and reunite him with Erik ten Hag, however no progress has been made.

Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move for Everton winger Anthony Gordon, and this could open up departures as the 21-year-old is seen as a versatile option in attack and at wing-back.
Chelsea have had two bids rejected already, with the latest £45 million offer turned down by the Toffees.
Gordon's arrival could grant Pulisic a departure ahead of the World Cup, with Manchester United the latest team to consider a move.

As reported by Andy Mitten of The Athletic, United are considering a loan move for Pulisic.
The USMNT star would prefer a move to Old Trafford on loan over other options this summer, with Chelsea willing to listen to loan offers for the forward.
Pulisic is frustrated and wants to play more minutes, opening the doort to Man United.
The Red Devils have struggled so far this season, losing their opening two matches to Brighton and Hove Albion and Brentford, with Ten Hag looking to add to his squad before the end of the transfer window.

It remains to be seen as to whether the Blues will allow Pulisic to join United, who were thought to be challenging for the top four this season.
