Man United s Best Kept Secret: The Player Who Could Lead Them to Victory

Jamie Carragher believes Cole Palmer, a star player for Chelsea, might sign with Manchester United the next season if Palmer struggles under Enzo Maresca.

Maresca’s team’s first Premier League game of the new season was a 2-0 home loss to Manchester City on Saturday. But Chelsea rallied mightily on Sunday, winning 6-2 against Wolves and Palmer scoring his first goal of the 2024–25 campaign.

And Liverpool legend Carragher has offered his predictions about what might happen to the England and Chelsea star should his current team have another dismal season. Mauricio Pochettino left the west London club after an exciting season in which they finished sixth in 23/24 and failed to win a title.

Something hit me hard right here. We were talking about how, should Chelsea have another poor season, Manchester United will have a major problem on the right wing, Carragher told The Overlap.

Palmer appears to be a huge Man United fan. Would it not be something United should investigate, maybe after a year, if things did not work out? Well, I might be correct after all. Cole Palmer, indeed, to Manchester United.
