Man United are reportedly keeping tabs on Chelsea star, Christian Pulisic, who is said to be facing an uncertain future with the Blues for lack of game time under new manager, Thomas Tuchel.
Pulisic is yet to start a single Premier League match since the arrival of Tuchel, sparking speculation he could dump the Stamford Bridge-based side in the summer.

According to talkSPORT, Pulisic is becoming increasingly impatient for being overlooked during top-flight fixtures and could be on his way out of Chelsea.
The American was not part of the starting XI that stunned Everton 2-0 on Monday night, March 7, as the Blues cemented their place in fourth on the standings.
The situation could now reportedly force the forward to quit the west London, just two years after he joined them from Borussia Dortmund for a record fee of £60m.
Interestingly, Tuchel has previously managed Pulisic during their time at Dortmund, with the German tactician handing the winger his debut for the Bundesliga giants in 2015.
Despite his huge transfer fee, the 22-year-old did not have a bright start to life with Chelsea, taking several games to settle in.
He would later announce his arrival with a perfect hat-trick for the Blues against Burnley in October 2019.
He formed an important part of Frank Lampard's team as he was a mainstay figure during the Englishman's tenure at the club.
He had easily one of his best times for the west Londoners last season when he scored 11 goals to help them earn a Champions League slot.
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel admitted he has been a little "unfair" to Pulisic.
Pulisic only start came in the Blues’ 1-0 FA Cup win against Barnsley a month ago — and he was subbed off in that encounter.
Tuchel has stated that the player could be suffering due to their past relationship.
Owing to his immense talent, Pulisic is sure to court interest from a number of top clubs including Man United, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich all of who are thought to be monitoring his situation at the Bridge.
