“Should Cole Palmer Join Man Utd? Expert Warns He Faces Tough Competition from Key Players”

COLE PALMER could struggle to break into the Manchester United starting line-up if he were to join the club, according to former England star Chris Waddle.

SunSport revealed earlier this year that to his boyhood club.

It is understood he misses his hometown of Wythenshawe and frequently returns to see family and friends.

But should a move to be on the cards, icon Waddle is not convinced that would be a guaranteed starter.

The former and midfielder believes that while the 23-year-old would be “very tempted” to make the switch, it might not be the best move.

He told Ozoon : “Palmer is definitely a talent, and I’m a big fan. I know he’s had patches and hasn’t been consistent since he went to Chelsea.

“Whether it’s off-the-field issues or unhappiness in London, we don’t know, only he can answer that.

“Chelsea have a massive squad, so he’s rested, played, rested, and brought on. He probably wants to play every game, as players do.

“If he’s a Manchester lad and supposedly a United fan, I’m sure he’d be very tempted.

“However, with and , you can only play so many creative players. Will he get in the team?

“Most teams, you’d say yes, but Fernandes and Cunha are in good form right now. Yes, Cunha can play further forward, on the left, or on the right, but he likes to roam. So, where would you play Palmer?

“But as I said earlier, United will have to clear the decks. There are a few aged players they’ll probably look to get rid of.”

Palmer missed several games at the start of the season due to injury.

So far this term, the forward has made 24 appearances, scoring 10 goals.
