Manchester United renew interest in AC Milan attacker ahead of summer 2026

Manchester United’s recent resurgence on the pitch has not dulled the club’s long-term planning, with fresh reports indicating that the Red Devils have rekindled their interest in AC Milan winger Christian Pulisic ahead of the summer 2026 transfer window.

The 27-year-old United States international, who joined Milan in the summer of 2023, has registered 43 goals in 121 appearances for the Serie A side and is again attracting Premier League attention after a previous flirtation with Old Trafford late in 2024. Italian outlet Calciomercato claims United have now placed Pulisic back on their radar, alongside London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.

Interest from Manchester United stalled during 2025, but with a new campaign on the horizon and squad evolution expected, the club are positioning themselves for a potential approach once the season concludes. Pulisic’s versatility across the forward line and proven Serie A output make him an appealing target as United look to add experience and goals to their attacking options.

The renewed pursuit of Pulisic follows earlier speculation surrounding Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba, whom United continue to monitor as they prepare for the confirmed departure of Casemiro at the end of the current season. While no formal discussions have taken place with Brighton, the midfield area remains a priority, and Baleba’s potential arrival would complement the anticipated offensive reinforcement.

With the January window closed and the club’s recent league form—four consecutive victories, three against top-half opposition—fuelling hopes of a top-four finish, United’s recruitment staff are already mapping out scenarios for the summer. Pulisic’s name now sits prominently on that list as the club weigh another attempt to bring the American back to England.
