Christian Pulisic’s former coach Robin Walker has revealed that the new Chelsea signing turned down Manchester United in favour of a move to Stamford Bridge.
He told the Telegraph that the former Dortmund forward didn’t want to sign for United because Jose Mourinho was in charge.
“When I was in Dortmund last year, I told him that he had to come. He wouldn’t go to Manchester United because of Jose Mourinho. His father couldn’t stand Mourinho, because he didn’t promote young players.
“It was at that point I asked: ‘What about London? That’s where it’s at.’ I was trying to sell the city. His agent agreed, saying: ‘When you make these decisions, it’s all about investment and property.’ I was delighted that he did sign.”
